। ॥ ४७९ ॥
In plain words
Superimposing identity upon what is not the self does not require a likeness between them. When a white conch shell is mistakenly seen as yellow by someone with jaundice, what similarity is there?
Close to the Sanskrit
In the superimposition of selfhood upon the non-self, similarity is not required. In instances such as 'this conch shell is yellow', is any similarity required?
