The verse runs through all the directions and finds one thing in all.
Itaḥ ātmā tato'py ātmā — “here the Ātman and there the Ātman”. A turn almost childlike in its simplicity.
It recalls the famous passage of the Chāndogya where Uddālaka bids his son dissolve salt in water and then taste it from every side: everywhere salty.
Note the last line: nāsty anātma-mayaṃ jagat — “there is no world woven of the non-Ātman”.
It says not “there is no world”, but “there is no world of other stuff”. The world exists; of anything else it does not.
This is exactly what was said in 4.45 of the gold and the bracelet, and in 5.57 of the veins in the stone.
The whole dispute whether the world is or is not is dissolved by the question: of what is it.
