Meaning
Another commentary: we two, and my husband's kingdom too, are the space of awareness; yet, supreme goddess, it is filled with thousands of mountains, as the wide world is with great illusion. Līlā now sees as the goddess taught: she herself, her guide, and the kingdom they will visit are all of one stuff, space in space. The mountains are not denied; they are seen for what they are, māyā spread out.
