Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P17.060ab क्षीरात् सर्पिर्यथोद्धृत्य क्षिप्तं तस्मिन् न पूर्ववत् ।US-P17.060cd बुद्ध्यादेर्ज्ञस्तथासत्यान् न देही पूर्ववद् भवेत् ॥

In plain words

Churn butter out of milk and pour it back in: it will not be milk again. So too the knower, once drawn out of the intellect and everything after it — none of which is real — will not be an embodied person again, the way he was before.

Close to the Sanskrit

Just as butter, having been extracted from milk and thrown into that [same milk], is not as before, so the knower, [drawn out] from the unreal intellect and the rest, would not become an embodied one as before.
