Meaning
Rāma states what he understands the goal to be. The commentary: when the seer and the seen, once their falseness has been seen through, are left as the one self-luminous Self, and the absence of their twoness becomes steady, then nirvāṇa, freedom, remains. "Of one number": not two things side by side, but one.
