hence
एतस्य पुंसःetasya puṃsaḥ
for this person
संसारःsaṃsāraḥ
the bondage of transmigration
मनः–कल्पित एवmanaḥ–kalpita eva
it is merely a projection of the mind
न वस्तुतः अस्तिna vastutaḥ asti
does not exist in reality
Translation
During deep sleep when the mind is withdrawn (into its causal state), nothing exists whatsoever, as is well known to all. Hence the bondage of transmigration for this seeker is merely a projection of the mind, not existing in reality.
Annotation
The world exists when the mind is present in waking and dream states and does not exist in deep sleep when mind is withdrawn. Hence by anvaya–vyatireka (the principle of positive and negative assertion) the mind is the cause for the phenomenal world (Jagadguru).
