The line places negations and living verbs side by side, and the whole matter lies in this proximity. First the negations: nirlakṣaṇa, «without a mark»; nirañjana, «unstained»; nirupādhi, «without wrapping» — as in a thousand other places. And then — unmīlate, «opens» (literally «opens the eyes», from mil, «to close the eyelids»); paśyati, «sees»; vikāsate, «blossoms»; kāmayate, «desires». Four verbs in a row, and all four about a living being: opens its eyes, looks, unfolds, wants. The last is stated directly: kāmayate caitanya-bhāvam, «desires the state of consciousness», that is, wants to be conscious.
The argument here has already been made more than once, and there is no need to repeat it; let us pause instead on the word unmīlate itself. It is taken from everyday usage and means awakening — this is said of one who has opened his eyes after sleep. To say this of the markless can only mean that «markless» means «without marks familiar to us», not «without any at all».
His desire, moreover, is called directed: yatiṣu yajñeṣu yogiṣu, «among ascetics, among sacrifices, among yogīs» — that is, turned toward those who seek Him. Such desire is not hunger, but a movement to meet.
