Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
The origin of the mirage, when traced out, is found, not in the Sunrays, but in the Sun himself; even so, O Kiriti, it is only when the universe, which is created from this Maya, is wound up and put back in its original state, that it merges into Me. In this way, abides in Me the universe first created, and subsequently dissolved. Just as a multitude of beads remains inwoven upon a thread, in the same way the Universe abides in Me. Just as gold beads should be inwoven upon a thread of gold, in that way, I hold inwoven the entire world in and out.
