Translation
The breadth of the heart of the great-minded one who is freed is not equalled even by hundreds of thousands of Viṣṇus, Śivas and Brahmās, for it is the breadth of the reality beyond which there is nothing.

Meaning
The sarga ends in drutavilambita. The commentary takes care over the claim. It is not that the gods lack the power to measure it. The heart of the freed one is Brahman, in being, in endlessness and in bliss, beyond which nothing higher exists, and its being without limit is so in truth, not like space, which is imagined by the power of a seer. The plan of the work ends where the work itself is meant to end, in the heart of the one set free.
