Meaning
The commentary: Virāṭ is of the nature of dense resolve; the individual jīva, its effect, is also resolve, not made of the five elements. As from Hiraṇyagarbha, a resolve and false, the utterly empty Virāṭ arose, and as from one false dream another false dream arises, so from Virāṭ, a resolve empty of earth and the rest, the jīva arose as resolve.
