Meaning
The commentary on verses 4 and 5 together: the knowing that is subtler and clearer than space, through dwelling on the names and forms that are to be, becomes somewhat of an inferred form, and appears with resolve towards all that is to be created, without the superimposition of ego; so it seems, by itself, to reach a slight knowability. Nothing has been made yet; awareness only foreshadows, as a thinker foresees words before he speaks them. "Inferred", ūhita: the form is guessed at, not yet seen. And this knowing "shines in all": it is the same awareness in which, later, everything will appear.
