Verse 499

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ४९९ ॥

In plain words

Saṃsāra comes from adhyāsa and from nothing else; kill the adhyāsa and saṃsāra is nowhere to be seen. Both cases stand right in front of you — the one still bound, the one already free. Look, and see it plainly for yourself.

Close to the Sanskrit

From superimposition alone [arises] saṃsāra; when the superimposition is destroyed, it is not seen. That, this, the pair — see it clearly, you yourself, in the case of the bound and the liberated.
