Translation
So nothing has arisen, neither the seen nor awareness as a world nor any of it; space of awareness, alone, stands in space of awareness, in its own Self.

Meaning
The conclusion of this part. The commentary: so the absence of the world stands unbroken. Another commentary: no world, no universe has arisen; in the space of awareness only the space of awareness stands, in itself. Even "awareness appearing as a world" is too much to say; awareness simply is.
