Meaning
The knowable (cetya) is everything that can be an object of awareness. The jīva's full state (bharitā avasthā) is to be free of it, or to be turned towards what can never be an object. The commentary notes the difference: freedom from the knowable belongs to liberation; turning towards the not-knowable belongs to samādhi. Knowing that state, one no longer grieves.
