In plain words
“Take it that way and scripture is left with nothing to do.” No — the delusion belongs to the intellect. Bondage is that delusion; liberation is its ending. It stands exactly as it was stated, and no other way.
Close to the Sanskrit
“Then scripture would be purposeless.” No: the intellect’s delusion is accepted as bondage, and liberation is its destruction, just as stated and not otherwise.
