घटोदके बिम्बितमर्कबिम्ब -मालोक्य मूढो रविमेव मन्यते ।तथा चिदाभासमुपाधिसंस्थंभ्रान्त्याहमित्येव जडोऽभिमन्यते ॥ २२० ॥
In plain words
A fool sees the sun's reflection dancing in a pot of water and thinks he's looking at the sun itself. In just the same way, out of sheer confusion, the ignorant mind mistakes the reflected gleam of consciousness sitting in the intellect for 'I' — mistaking the reflection for the real thing.
Close to the Sanskrit
Looking at the disc of the sun reflected in the water of a pot, the deluded one thinks it is indeed the [actual] sun. In the same way, the ignorant person mistakenly identifies, through delusion, the reflection of consciousness situated in the limiting adjunct as 'I.'
