US-P18.035ab अहंकर्तैव संसारी स्वतन्त्र इति केचन ।US-P18.035cd अहंकारादिसंतानः संसारी नान्वयी पृथक् ॥
In plain words
Some say that the ego-agent alone is the one bound to samsara, acting independently. Others hold that the continuous stream of mental states beginning with the ego is the transmigrator, and there is no separate, enduring reality behind it.
Close to the Sanskrit
Some say: The ego-agent alone is the transmigrator, independent. The stream beginning with the ego is the transmigrator, not a separate persistent reality.
