In plain words
Moreover: We praise You, beyond even the supreme bright essence of the Ṛg, the Yajus and the Sāman, You whose command, made of the Veda, is this, ah, deep and beautiful. The supreme ‘bright essence’ of the three Vedas, the Ṛg and the rest, is made of vimarśa of non-difference from them, that is, it is in the form of the radiance of the praṇava, whose nature is the shining of the sun of awareness; ‘beyond’ even that, that is, in the form of the sun of awareness, You ‘we praise’, You whose ‘command’, that is, ordinance, ‘made of the Veda’, is this: ‘deep’, since knowledge of the single import of the sentences of the section on rites, the section on deities and the section on knowledge is to be reached by only a few, and ‘beautiful’, since it grants rest in the supreme ānanda, in the view set forth in the Vedāntas, ‘Brahman is knowledge, ānanda’. And in saying this, the intent is: this meaning of the Veda, whose nature is a command in the form of an ordinance, holds only if there is one who ordains, that is, one who commands; otherwise how could an inert word have meaning through its arrangement, or be one who ordains? And the Lord's being the one who ordains, though it is stated by the Gāyatrī itself, is not perceived by the Vedic scholars, because of their dullness. As he will say: “whose radiance, impelling minds, is sung by the Gāyatrī” So he says.
