kārya — the result or effect; kāraṇa — the cause; vastu — substance; aikya — oneness; darśanam — observation; paṭa — the cloth; tantu — the thread; vat — like; avastutvāt — because of being ultimately unreality; vikalpasya — of differentiation; bhāva-advaitam — the conception of oneness; tat ucyate — that is called.

TRANSLATION

When one understands that result and cause are one and that duality is ultimately unreal, like the idea that the threads of a cloth are different from the cloth itself, one reaches the conception of oneness called bhāvādvaita.
