yadbuddhyupādhisaṃbandhātparikalpitamātmani || 200 ||

jīvatvaṃ na tato'nyastu svarūpeṇa vilakṣaṇaḥ |
saṃbandhastvātmano buddhyā mithyājñānapuraḥsaraḥ || 201 ||

200-201. Previous non-existence, even though beginningless, is observed to have an end. So the Jīvahood which is imagined to be in the Ātman through its relation with superimposed attributes such as the Buddhi, is not real; whereas the other (the Ātman) is essentially different from it. The relation between the Ātman and the Buddhi is due to a false knowledge.

Notes:

[Superimposed attributes: Just as a crystal placed near a red flower seems to appear as red. Or when we look at a thing behind a curtain through an aperture, as the aperture becomes bigger and bigger we see more and more of the thing behind; but we erroneously think that the thing is growing, whereas, in reality all the change takes place in the curtain only. Similarly we see the Atman through the covering of Prakriti or Nature, of which Buddhi etc. are manifestations, and Nature which is continually changing, leads us to think that the Atman back of it is changing too, which is a mistake.]
