The phrases
इति ते ज्ञानमाख्यातं गुह्याद्गुह्यतरं मया iti te jñānam ākhyātaṃ guhyād guhyataram mayā closes the account. Thus this knowledge, more secret than the secret, has been declared to you by me. mayā (मया) is the agent of the participle ākhyātam (आख्यातम्).
vimṛśyaitad aśeṣeṇa yathecchasi tathā kuru (विमृश्यैतदशेषेण यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु) hands the next act to him. Having reflected on this fully, do as you wish. yathā (यथा) and tathā (तथा) are the pair again. kuru (कुरु) is the imperative.
Sanskrit in this line
--tara (तर) is the comparative. guhyāt (गुह्यात्), "than the secret," is the ablative it is compared with, and guhyataram (गुह्यतरम्) is "more secret." गुह्यात् + गुह्यतरम् guhyāt + guhyataram is recited guhyād guhyataram (गुह्याद्गुह्यतरम्), because t (त्) before the voiced g (ग्) becomes d (द्).
Say it back
Cover the English. Say what has been declared, and what he is free to do after reflecting. If kuru (कुरु) is heard as "I will do it for you," stay here.
