Verse 483

Tap any word for its meaning.

। । ॥ ४८३ ॥

In plain words

From the Self comes the reflection in the intellect; from that, the reflection in the mind; from the mind, the reflection in the senses; and from the senses, the reflection in the body. Hence arises the stubborn delusion that the physical body and senses are actually the living soul.

Close to the Sanskrit

From that, the intellect has the reflection of the Self; from the intellect, the mind has the reflection; the senses have reflections of the mind; this body has the reflection of the senses. Hence indeed is the notion of selfhood in the non-self, beginning with the body and senses.
