For the meaning that was briefly conveyed by the aphoristic statement at the beginning, there is this elaborate explanation beginning from tasmāt till the end.

Notes:

This verse states the connection between what was stated in the Brāhmaṇa text and the Mantra explanation thereof and what follows in the sequel from the text tasmādvā etasmāt ātmana ākāśaḥ sambhūtaḥ. It is with a view to discuss at length the central teaching that the Upaniṣad proceeds with the sequel.
