Ākāratva (आकारत्व) refers to “(being transformed into) a particular form”, according to the Brahmānanda’s Jyotsnā (verse 4.6).—Accordingly, “Because of the transformation into the self’s form, of the mind [which is] situated in the self, the state of the self’s form [prevails], like [the transformation] of a crystal, situated near a China rose, into the form of a China rose (japākusuma-ākāratva)”.
