Here is another reference, in Hindi, on the BG 15.17, by Swami
Chinmayananda:

एक ही सर्वगत आकाश घट और मठ इन दो उपाधियों से अवच्छिन्न होकर घटाकाश और
मठाकाश के रूप में प्रतीत होता है। यहाँ यह स्पष्ट है कि यह कोई तीन आकाश
घटाकाश? मठाकाश और महाकाश नहीं बन गये हैं। घट और मठ की उपाधियों से ध्यान दूर
कर लें तो ज्ञात होता कि वस्तुत आकाश एक ही है।इसी प्रकार? उत्तम पुरुष ही
दृश्य और दृष्टा के रूप में क्षर और अक्षर पुरुष कहलाता है। परन्तु उपाधियों
से विवर्जित हुआ वह परमात्मा ही है।अगले श्लोक में? भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण
पुरुषोत्तम शब्द की व्युत्पत्ति दर्शाकर यह बताते हैं कि वे किस प्रकार परम
ब्रह्म स्वरूप हैं

The concept is clear enough. The three AkAshas are clearly explained.
