Meaning
The commentary: even so the nature of awareness does not change. Though the play of awareness bears names like jīva, to be marked off from its own products such as the ego, and to be made by itself, all that is false, so it is neither different from awareness nor in truth there. Another commentary: it is not other than awareness, nor is it truly that.
