Transliteration (IAST)

sattva-puruṣayor atyantāsaṃkīrṇayoḥ pratyayāviśeṣo bhogaḥ parārthatvāt svārtha-saṃyamāt puruṣa-jñānam

Word by word

sattva-puruṣayoḥ
of intellect (sattva) and Self (puruṣa)
atyanta-asaṃkīrṇayoḥ
though absolutely distinct
pratyaya-aviśeṣaḥ
non-distinction in cognition
bhogaḥ
(ordinary) experience
parārthatvāt
because (the intellect) acts for another
svārtha-saṃyamāt
from saṃyama on what exists for the Self
puruṣa-jñānam
knowledge of the Self

Translation

Experience arises from not distinguishing the intellect and the Self, though they are utterly distinct; since the intellect exists for another, saṃyama on what exists for the Self yields knowledge of the Self.
