Translation

Others, full of such creation, do not even come within the imagining of those who see inwardly here, like a mountain filled with space.

Meaning

Some worlds are beyond even the yogi's inner vision. The first commentary: they do not become objects even of the yogis' knowledge that still works with distinctions. A mountain filled with space cannot be pictured; so with those worlds.
