The crossing over

तथा चात्मवित्संसारं तीर्त्वा ब्रह्मानन्दमिहैव प्राप्नोति । तरति शोकमात्मवित् इति श्रुतेः । तनुं त्यजतु वा काश्यां श्वपचस्य गृहेऽथ वा । ज्ञानसम्प्राप्तिसमये मुक्ताऽसौ विगताशयः । इति स्मृतेश्च । इति श्रीशङ्करभगवत्पादाचार्यप्रणीतः तत्त्वबोधप्रकरणं समाप्तम् ।
tathā cātmavitsaṃsāraṃ tīrtvā brahmānandamihaiva prāpnoti | tarati śokamātmavit iti śruteḥ | tanuṃ tyajatu vā kāśyāṃ śvapacasya gṛhe'tha vā | jñānasamprāptisamaye muktā'sau vigatāśayaḥ | iti smṛteśca | iti śrīśaṅkarabhagavatpādācāryapraṇītaḥ tattvabodhaprakaraṇaṃ samāptam |

And so the knower of the Self, having crossed beyond the round of birth and death, attains the bliss of Brahman here, in this very life. 'The knower of the Self crosses sorrow,' so says the śruti. 'Whether he lays down the body in Kāśī or in the house of a dog-eater, at the moment knowledge is gained he is freed, his old tendencies gone,' so says the smṛti as well. Here ends the treatise Tattva Bodha, set down by the revered Śaṅkara Bhagavatpāda.

In plain words

And so the knower of the Self, having crossed beyond saṃsāra, attains the bliss of Brahman in this very life. The śruti says, 'The knower of the Self crosses over sorrow.' And the smṛti says, 'Whether he leaves the body in Kāśī or in the house of an outcaste, at the moment knowledge is attained he is liberated, his latent tendencies gone.' Thus ends the treatise Tattva Bodha, composed by the revered Śaṅkara Bhagavatpāda Ācārya.
