Meaning
From here to verse 50 the one who has understood the sixth book is described. The commentary: all the delusions of saṁsāra are destroyed in him, and he becomes the light of consciousness without objects, free of every pain of body and mind, with no wish left. Acetya-cit, consciousness with nothing to be known: it is not the knowing of something, but knowing itself.
