यथा दृष्टिनिरोधार्तो सूर्यो नास्तीति मन्यते ।तथाज्ञानावृतो देही ब्रह्म नास्तीति मन्यते ॥ ४८ ॥
In plain words
A man whose sight has been shut off decides: there is no sun. A man wrapped over by ajñāna decides: there is no brahman.
Close to the Sanskrit
Just as one afflicted by the obstruction of sight thinks, 'The sun does not exist,' so the embodied one, covered over by ignorance, thinks, 'Brahman does not exist.'
