yaḥ sarvajñaḥ sarvavid yasyaiṣa mahimā bhuvi. divye brahmapure hyeṣa vyomanyātmā pratiṣṭhitaḥ.
This self is all-knowledge in general and knows everything in detail. It is his glory in the world. The self-evident self abides in the space in the buddhi, which is conscious.
Divye brahmapure vyomni hyeṣa ātmā pratiṣṭhitaḥ: this self-evident ātman abides in the space in buddhi, the city of Brahman. It does not mean that the buddhi is a location where ātman is seated. Buddhi is the place where ātman can be known, because ātman manifests there in the form of caitanya. Buddhi is called brahma-pura, where Brahman exists, meaning, Brahman is recognised. Nowhere else one can recognise Brahman. Brahman exists in the buddhi as awareness in every thought as well as in the space of awareness that is free from thoughts as a sākṣin, witness, of both cognition and the absence of it.

yaḥ sarvajñaḥ sarvavidyasyaiṣa mahimā bhuvi, divye brahmapure hyeṣa vyomnyātmā pratiṣṭhitaḥ. manomayaḥ prāṇaśarīranetā pratiṣṭhito’nne hṛdayaṁ sannidhāya, tadvijñānena paripaśyanti dhīrā ānandarūpamamṛtaṁ yadvibhāti.
He is ‘all-wise’ and ‘all-knowing’ and His, is verily this glory manifest in the world. In the sky of the heart – the luminous city of Brahman – He is established, clothed in mind and guiding life and body. With His seat in the heart, He lives in the whole body of a man. In the perfect knowledge of Him, the wise realise the state of blissful Immortality.
Brahmapure – The term is to indicate the spot where Brahman or the total Self, resides. It is only figurative explanation in terms of the finite to indicate the palace of the Infinite. This land of the Self is described as luminous, because Consciousness is the very illuminator of all the objects and the illuminating principle in all the planes of consciousness. This is considered to be located in the cave of the heart because it is there, among the vibrations of the intellect and the waves of thought, that a seeker can struggle to discover the pure Consciousness. Though seated in the heart, He is the very substance of all the activities of the body, the vital airs, the mind and the intellect.
~Chinmayananda
He who knows all and understands all, and to whom belongs all the glory in the world-He, Atman, is placed in the space in the effulgent abode of Brahman. He assumes the forms of the mind and leads the body and the senses. He dwells in the body, inside the heart. By the knowledge of That which shines as the blissful and immortal Atman, the wise behold Him fully in all things.
The seeker first realizes the Supreme Knowledge, which confers upon him Bliss and Immortality, directly within himself and then realizes it everywhere and in all objects.
~Nikhilananda
