सद्ब्रह्म शिवमात्मेति परे नामकलङ्किता ।
उदेत्यहन्ता कुम्भत्वादिव मृद्धातुविस्मृतिः ॥ ३७ ॥

sadbrahma śivamātmeti pare nāmakalaṅkitā |
udetyahantā kumbhatvādiva mṛddhātuvismṛtiḥ || 37 ||

The essence is the pure and felicitous spirit, which is afterwards soiled under the appellation of ego, which rises out of that pure essence, as a pot is produced from the clay; but the substance is forgot under the form, as the gold is forgotten under that of the ornament.
