In plain words
The count 'nine' has carried him off: he does not see himself standing there as the tenth, the one who makes ten, and so he sets out to find him. In just this way a person wants to know his own Self.
Close to the Sanskrit
For, because of the carrying-off by the notion 'nine', not seeing his own self, the completer of the ten, he would wish precisely to know it; so too a person [wishes to know] his own Self.
