Verse 231

Tap any word for its meaning.

केनापि मृद्भिन्नतया स्वरूपंघटस्य सन्दर्शयितुं न शक्यते ।अतो घटः कल्पित एव मोहा -न्मृदेव सत्यं परमार्थभूतम् ॥ २३१ ॥

In plain words

No one can ever actually show you a 'pot' that is something other than clay. So the pot is nothing but a delusion we've built up — clay alone is real, clay alone is what ultimately exists.

Close to the Sanskrit

The essential nature of the pot, as distinct from clay, cannot be demonstrated by anyone. Therefore the pot is merely a construction born of delusion; clay alone is real, the ultimately real thing.
