Meaning
The commentary: the world, held to be the property of awareness, is now said plainly to be awareness: the being of awareness is the being of the world, and the being of the world is the very form of awareness. Another commentary: the world's being depends on awareness's being. The litany ends in a single line that turns the two ways.
