रूपं रूपं प्रतीदं प्रतिफलनवशात्प्रातिरूप्यं प्रपेदेह्येको द्रष्टा द्वितीयो भवति च सलिले सर्वतोऽनन्तरूपः ।इन्द्रो मायाभिरास्ते श्रुतिरिति वदति व्यापकं ब्रह्म तस्मा -ज्जीवत्वं यात्यकस्मादतिविमलतरे बिम्बितं बुद्ध्युपाधौ ॥ ५० ॥
In plain words
Reflection makes the one seer appear as a second in water and take on form after form. ‘Indra dwells through his Māyās,’ the Śruti says, speaking of all-pervading Brahman. Mirrored in the clear Buddhi-upādhi, the finite-seeming frame of the discerning intellect, Brahman suddenly appears as Jīva, the individual being.
Close to the Sanskrit
Through reflection, the one seer assumes likeness in form after form and appears as a second in water, everywhere of endless forms. ‘Indra abides through Māyās,’ declares Śruti of all-pervading Brahman. Therefore, when Brahman is reflected in the exceedingly pure Buddhi-upādhi—the limiting adjunct of intellect—it unexpectedly takes on Jīva-hood, the condition of an individual being.
