UNIVERSAL ESSENCE = approx. 'brahmam (or) paratatvam' in Sanskrit.
The bondage and liberation of a soul (in physical body) is a creation of illusion (maaya). They do not really exist. There is neither bondage nor liberation.
Reason: How can there be bondage or liberation to the Ultimate Essence which is like 'infinite space in the sky' - devoid of body organs, body actions, and which is serene, pure, unstained and untinged, unique?

I don't have much knowledge to criticize ur trial on translating Adi Sankara's master piece.
But as per details available on Kanchi mutt website, Adi Sankara lived 2500 yr ago and not in 8th century AD.
pls verify. It is very imp, we lost many things jus bcoz of historical confusion created by British ppl. pls try to avoid that.
Sir: Pl. see my reply at post #573 at this blog.
