MahavakyaPancaka - Sloka 4


koçamaya-païcakam idam ca savikäram
yatra viyadädi vimala sphuritam etat |
asti na kadäcidapi rajjuvat anantam
tattvamasi tattvamasi tattvamasi räjan || 4

koçamaya-païcakam –  That which is covered by the five sheats
idam ca – all this is
savikäram – endowed with attributes
yatra – where
viyadädi – all the ether etc.
vimala –impurity
sphuritam etat – is seen
asti na kadäcidapi –  does not exist at any point of time/space
rajjuvat – like the rope, without the superimposition
anantam – is eternal
tattvamasi tattvamasi tattvamasi – That you are, That you are, That you are
räjan - oh King.

Oh King, you are the Self, that which remains as the substratum, without the superimposition, like the rope without being altered or affected by the superimposed snake. So too, without any impurity (vimala if seen as vigata mala – devoid of mala, impurity) of the superimposed embodiments which are the vimala (vishesha mala, varied or manifold forms of impurity).
