Translation

Water associated with mud is unclear but devoid of mud it becomes clear. In a similar way, the Atman shines bright when the impurities (of the mind) are removed (by viveka, analysis).

Annotation

‘Impurities’ – refer to the false knowledge, followed by identification and consequent qualities like desire, anger, hatred etc., Atman can be known only by a pure mind.
