of the (above) two

is created by the limiting adjuncts
न कश्चित??? वास्तवःna kaścita??? vāstavaḥ
but not something real
शृणुśṛṇu
Listen
उपाधिः एषःupādhiḥ eṣaḥ
this is mere a limiting adjunct
ईशस्य मायाīśasya māyā
that of (the upādhi of) Iswara is māyā
महद्–आदि–कारणंmahad–ādi–kāraṇaṃ
which is the cause for mahat and others
जीवस्यjīvasya
that (upādhi) of jīva
कार्यंkāryaṃ
is the effect
पञ्च कोशःpañca kośaḥ
the five sheaths

Translation

The contradiction between them is not something real but it is created by the limiting adjuncts. Listen! The limiting adjunct of Iswara is māyā which is the cause for mahat and others. The limiting adjunct of jīva is the effect, the five sheaths.

Annotation

1) mahad–ādi–kāraṇaṃ – māyā is the cause for mahat (Hiranyagarbha), the cosmic mind and the five tanmātra–s. 2) For the jīva, the effect, constituting the five sheaths, is the limiting adjunct. The scripture says – ‘the cause (of the universe) is the upādhi for Iswara and the effect is the upādhi for jīva’(Jagadguru).
