In plain words
The Self is not what the word 'knowledge' points to when it means an instrument of knowing; an instrument is never without someone wielding it. Nor is the Self described by object-words like 'it is known'.
Close to the Sanskrit
Consciousness is not denoted by 'knowledge' in the sense of an instrument of knowing, for an instrument cannot be without an agent. Nor is it described by object-words in the form 'it is known'.
