In plain words
A rope's connection with a snake — that is exactly the kind of connection this Self has with everything it sees. "This one is unattached, always": the śruti says it too, and settles precisely this point.
Close to the Sanskrit
Like the connection of the rope and the like with snakes and the like, is this one's connection with the seen; 'this one is always unattached' — thus śruti too establishes precisely this meaning.
