Ananda Giri comments as follows: paroktânupapatlim nirasitum prikkhati idam iti. Prakrityarthâbhâvât pratyayârthâbhâvâd vâ brahmano sarvajñateti prasnam eva prakatayati katham iti. Prathamam pratyâha yasyeti. Uktam vyatirckadvârâ viyzrinoti anityatve hîti. Dvitiyam sa@nkate jñâneti. Svato nityasyâpi jñânasya tattadarthâvakkhinnasya kâryatvât tatra svâtantryam pratyayârtho brahmanah sidhyatîty âha.—The knowledge of Brahman is eternal, and in so far Brahman is not independent with regard to it, but it is independent with regard to each particular act of knowledge; the verbal affix in 'jânâti' indicating the particularity of the act.
