jñānena tu tad-jñānaṃ yeṣāṃ nāśitam ātmanaḥ |
teṣām ādityavad-jñānaṃ prakāśayati tat param || 16 ||

16. But to those whose ignorance is destroyed by Self-realisation, their enlightenment is supreme
and illumines like the sun.

Commentary

In the case of the enlightened ones, their delusion is destroyed by wisdom. This enlightenment arises from [studying] the teachings about the real nature of the ātman, and is then realized by daily practice. The purity of this wisdom is unsurpassed, and in the case of those Jīvas who regain the expansive consciousness that is natural to them, it is found to be unlimited and un-contracted and illumines everything like the sun.
