गगन इव सुशून्यभेदमस्ति त्रिभुवनमङ्ग महाचितोऽन्तरस्याः । परमपदमयं समस्तदृश्यं त्विदमिति निश्चयवान् भवाऽनुभूतेः ॥ ८५ ॥
gagana iva suśūnyabhēdamasti tribhuvanamaṅga mahācitō’ntarasyāḥ | paramapadamayaṁ samastadṛśyaṁ tvidamiti niścayavān bhavā’nubhūtēḥ || 85 ||

Meaning
A verse in puṣpitāgrā metre. The commentary: if you hold firmly to the being of the seen world, then, by experience, by knowledge, remove the difference of awareness and seen, know the seen as awareness, the supreme state, and accept the seen's being as that awareness's being. Rāma, as the sky is wholly without division, so in this great awareness the three worlds are wholly without division; be certain by experience that all this seen is awareness, the supreme state. The last word is anubhūti, experience: the sarga that began with argument ends with the appeal to what one knows.
