Commentary:

O Raama, the three Worlds get created by the very act of opening of Your eyes. And then the entire creation gets dissolved into nonexistence when You close Your eyes.

(This is very deep in thought and import. Raama, here, is being described as being the very epitome of Supreme Brahman, the One Whose awareness of the Self, when as if being outwardly, the visible world comes into existence, and when as if being inwardly, the same world dissolves...! Oh Lord how interesting is this expression of Yours. The world is neither real nor unreal...! Such is its nature!)
