Tap any word for its meaning.

उपाधिसम्बन्धवशात्परात्मा -प्युपाधिधर्माननुभाति तद्गुणः ।अयोविकारानविकारिवह्निव -त्सदैकरूपोऽपि परः स्वभावात् ॥ १९३ ॥

In plain words

Bound up with its adjuncts, the Supreme Self seems to take on their qualities — the way fire seems to glow, melt, and bend when it enters iron, though fire itself never changes at all. The Self, by its own nature, is always and only itself.

Close to the Sanskrit

Owing to connection with the limiting adjunct, the Supreme Self, though ever of one form by nature, appears to take on the properties of the adjunct, [seeming to undergo] the modifications of iron, like fire which is itself unchanging.
