In plain words
Just as a pot placed in light becomes illuminated, so does an object become known when grasped by the intellect. This grasping of the pot is simply its pervasion by the mind; when thus pervaded, the pot becomes the object of cognition.
Close to the Sanskrit
Just as a pot situated in light becomes [illuminated], so [a pot] mounted on the intellect [becomes known]. The mounting on the pot is the pervasion of the intellect; in the pervasion of the intellect, [the pot] becomes the object.
