Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Then either here (in the world of the living) or in the Heaven, whatever bodies he dwells in, in them he spreads out i.e. adjusts his mind and other senses. When put out, a lamp takes away the light, Oh Pandava, but with its re-kindling, it (brings back the light), and spreads it out. Of the same type is the above course. This much only appears to the vision of such as do not consider this properly (lit. who are devoid of discrimination) Oh Kiriti. They consider all this, viz. that the soul enters the body, enjoys the objects of senses, and then leaves the body—to be real. The soul in fact recognises that this coming, going, doing and enjoying is all the doing of the Prakriti (Maya).
