In plain words
The Ācārya says: 'Listen, gentle one. This body, with its Jāti, lineage, and Saṃskāras, is distinct from you; you are free of them.' He then calls the disciple back to what he has heard: 'Remember Paramātman, Sarvātman—the Ātman of all—and its Lakṣaṇas. Śruti and Smṛti have already taught it to you in passages beginning, “Being alone, gentle one, was this,” and have declared its marks.'
Close to the Sanskrit
The Ācārya should say: 'Listen, gentle one, to how this body is different from you: it possesses a distinct Jāti, lineage, and Saṃskāras, while you are free from Jāti, lineage, and Saṃskāras.' Having said this, he should remind him: 'Gentle one, you should remember Paramātman, Sarvātman—the Ātman of all—with the Lakṣaṇas already described. You have heard of it through Śruti and Smṛti, in passages beginning, “Being alone, gentle one, was this.” Its Lakṣaṇas too are declared by Śruti and Smṛti.'
