## Translation:
**Verse 8:**
**Meaning:** The **vyavaharanaya** (practical standpoint) considers the soul to be different from its previously mentioned characteristics due to the use of the sixth case ending (**ṣaṣṭhī**) and other case endings. However, the **niścayanaya** (absolute standpoint) does not consider it to be different in this way.
**Verse 9:**
**Meaning:** Just as the difference between a pot and its form is merely a product of **vikalpa** (conceptualization), so too is the difference between the soul and its qualities a product of **vikalpa**, not **tāttvika** (essential).
**Verse 10:**
**Meaning:** The **niścayanaya** experiences the pure form of the soul, while the **vyavaharanaya** experiences the difference in that excellent form.
**Verse 11:**
**Meaning:** In reality, the form of the qualities is not separate from the soul. Otherwise, the soul would become **anātma** (non-soul), and even knowledge and other things would become inert.
**Verse 12:**
**Meaning:** Due to the commonality of **chaitanya** (consciousness), all beings are one in essence. The **niścayanaya** recognizes that the difference created by **karma** (actions) is merely a temporary fluctuation.
