Meaning
The commentary: it is without name, so it cannot be described; its form is fuller than the full. It is neither manifest nor unmanifest nor both; it is not related to time, nor does it have any relation to time. "Fuller than the full" recalls the Upaniṣad's "that is full, this is full": nothing can be added to it or taken away.
