Translation
As within a thing there is always its wonder, both risen and set and also beyond both, so within the thing whose body is awareness alone the world's standing is part of its own nature.

Meaning
The sarga ends in vaṁśastha. The commentary: as the wonder of a power whose works are beyond thought always lies in a seed and the like, so, within the Self whose nature is awareness alone, the being of the world, past and to come, joined with the conscious and the unconscious, lies within. This part sets out to show how that wonder arises, and so to show that it was never other than awareness.
