Meaning
The commentary: the one pure awareness that is the Self of all rises, through the order by which the karma of creatures ripens, as their karma requires to be lived out; and taking those forms, as though it were born, it shines as spread-out space and time and as outer and inner things. Another commentary adds that it puts on the dress of these things. The world is described here from its source: one knowing, appearing in every shape that experience needs.
