ज्ञानात्पूर्वमिच्छाजाते ज्ञातृकल्पनमुज्ज्वलम् । न घटो निर्विशेषोऽस्ति ग्रहे यज्ज्ञातृशुद्धता ॥४२॥

— prior to cognition ; — when will has arisen ; — the conceiving of a knower ; — resplendent, evident ; — the pot is not ; — devoid of particularity ; — exists ; — in the grasping ; — since ; — the purity of the knower

When will has arisen prior to cognition, the conceiving of a knower is (already) evident; (and) the pot is not (grasped) devoid of particularity, since in the grasping (there shines) the purity of the knower (the conscious subject).
