। ॥ ३० ॥
In plain words
Taken at their surface, the two senses contradict each other — so lakṣaṇā takes over, and the word points past what it literally says. Between the word's own meaning and the innermost Self, the relation is that of the pointer to what is pointed at.
Close to the Sanskrit
It would be mutually contradictory; therefore lakṣaṇā comes into operation. There is a relation of indicated and indicator between the meaning of the word and the inner Self.
