Verses on the Recognition of the Lord13.5

13.5
अत्रापरत्वम् भावानाम् अनात्मत्वेन भासनात् परताहन्तयाच्छादात् परापरदशा हि सा ॥५॥
atrāparatvam bhāvānām anātmatvena bhāsanāt paratāhantayācchādāt parāparadaśā hi sā
— here (at this level) ; — the lower (status) ; — of the entities ; — as not being the Self ; — because of (their) appearing ; — the higher (status) ; — by (their) I-ness (their being grasped as 'I') ; — because of (its) overlaying / pervading ; — the higher-and-lower phase ; — indeed ; — it (Sadvidyā)

Here the lower status (belongs) to the entities, because they appear as not-self; the higher status, because (it) is overlaid by their I-ness; thus that (Sadvidyā) is indeed the higher-and-lower phase.
