Meaning
The thesis stated as plainly as it can be: the world shines, and it was never born. The commentary: this delusion of the world never arose, and though it is empty it appears; this is what I shall tell you now. The whole of the Utpatti Prakaraṇa, its stories of Līlā and of the demon and of the city of the mind, will show this one thing in many ways.
