Viveka Chudamani Slokas 212- 213

Sloka 212

पंचानामपि कोशानां 

निषेधे युक्तितः कृते।

तन् निषेधावधिः साक्षी

बोधरूपो अवशिष्यते॥

पंचानामपि कोशानां - 

of the five sheaths 

 युक्तितः कृते निषेधे - 

negated through reasoning 

तन् निषेधावधिः - 

after that boundary of negations

साक्षी बोधरूपो  - 

the witness- ship of the form of absolute knowledge 

अवशिष्यते - only remains

In that process of negating all five sheaths, what is left in that process is the witness-ship which is of the form of pure knowledge.

When all the five sheaths have been eliminated by reasoning, what remains as the culminating point of the process of negation is the Witness, the knowledge absolute.

That is Self. That is Paramatman.

  

Sloka 213

योऽयं आत्मा स्वयंज्योतिः पंचकोश विलक्षणः।

अवस्थात्रय साक्षी सन् निर्विकारो निरंजनः।

सदानन्दः सविज्ञेयः स्वात्मत्वेन विपश्चिता॥

योऽयं आत्मा स्वयंज्योतिः  - 

this Self is self-effulgent

पंचकोश विलक्षणः - 

distinct from the five sheaths

अवस्थात्रय साक्षी सन् - 

witness of the three states

 निर्विकारो निरंजनः - 

real and free from all  modifications and blemish

सदानन्दः सविज्ञेयः - 

should be realized as everlasting Bliss

स्वात्मत्वेन विपश्चिता

by the wiseman as his own Self.

This Self ( that remained after negating all five sheaths)  is self-effulgent, distinct from the five sheaths. It is witness of the three states, real and free from all  modifications and blemish. It should realized as everlasting Bliss by the wiseman as his own Self.

The self-effulgent Atman, which is distinct from five sheaths is the Witness of the three states ( of waking, sleeping and dream states), the real , changeless, untainted, everlasting Bliss, is to be realized by wisemen as his own Self.
