अत्र भेदविकारादि न खे मलमिव स्थितम् । इतीदं सन्मयत्वेन सदसद्भुवनत्रयम् । अविकल्पतदात्मत्वात् सत्तासत्तैकतैव च ॥ ७६ ॥

Translation
Difference, change and the rest do not stand here, as dirt does not stand in the sky. So these three worlds, real and unreal, being made of being, are, from oneness with That beyond thought-constructs, the oneness of being and non-being.

Meaning
A verse of three half-lines. The commentary: as blueness is seen in the sky through error but is not really there, so in this mass of awareness, the Supreme Self, difference and change seem to be through error but are not there. These three worlds, though unreal, are real because they are made of being. And to the doubt that the world's non-being would then be another thing beside awareness: the being and non-being of what is imagined are one with the ground, for they are never seen apart from it.
