As the one sun, the giver of light, lights up, makes manifest, this whole world: so the field-knower, the supreme Self, being one, lights up the whole field, from the great elements down to steadiness. The simile of the sun here serves two purposes for the Self: as the sun is one in all fields, so is the Self one in all fields; and as the sun is unstained, so is the Self unstained. This verse is begun to round off the matter of the whole chapter.

Thus, in the manner described, those who, with the eye called the knowledge whose object is discernment, know the difference, the distinction, between the field and the field-knower, and know the release of beings from nature, they go to the supreme, attain the self with its bondage loosed. That by which one is released is 'release'; the meaning is, the means of release, freedom from conceit and the rest, told before. Having known, by the said knowledge whose object is the discernment of field and field-knower, the discernment of the two, and having understood the means of release from nature transformed into the shape of beings, freedom from conceit and the rest, those who carry it out, freed of bondage, attain the self, abiding in its own form, marked by unbounded knowledge. This is the meaning.
