The power of scattering creates the world — from the subtle body to the cosmic egg; [the power of covering conceals] within the difference of the seer and the seen, and outside that of brahman and creation.

It is worth noting that the power of covering is called covering two differences, not one. Within, it covers the difference between dṛk and dṛśya, "the seer and the seen": a person does not distinguish himself from what he sees, and so says "I am fat," "I am ill." Outside, it covers the difference between brahman and sarga, "brahman and creation": a person does not distinguish the world from its foundation, and so takes the world for independent.
This construction, to my mind, is excellent, and the Vaiṣṇava side does not object to it at all. She holds both differences, and holds them more firmly than this school: for her, the seer and the seen are different forever, and brahman and creation are different forever. The objection begins only when it is said that, upon the removal of the veil, the differences disappear.
Her position is the reverse: upon the removal of the veil, the differences become visible. That is, by her reckoning, the veil hides not unity but precisely difference: a person who does not distinguish himself from the body is covered; one who has distinguished is uncovered. And this, to my mind, agrees better with the very description: it is said, after all, that the power of covering covers a difference; and what is covered, once uncovered, becomes evident, not vanishes.
