Meaning
Another commentary: the knowing that the seen is impossible, which comes with the direct seeing of the Self, is called knowledge of what is to be known; by this practice comes release, and this practice is the cause of the great rising. The commentary: the goddess, having given the means, now shows the fruit of practice and closes the sarga in two verses.
