Meaning
The commentary: as a creeper sees itself first in bud and then in flower, so Brahman, by the order of those resolving movements, quickly sees the imagining it has entered, as formed or formless. The commentary notes that another reading has "a creeper in bud"; the sense is the same: the flowers are the creeper's own.
