The description of the six substances and the five categories of existence is not contradictory. This is proven by the statement itself. Therefore, although they exist, they are not included in the category of existence. ||4||
**Sanskrit Commentary Verse 4**
Now, the specific names of the five categories of existence, their general and specific nature, and their existence as bodies are explained. - The living beings, the particles, the dharma, the adharma, and the space are the specific names of the five categories of existence. They should be understood as being in accordance with their meaning. They are definitely established in their existence, in the general and specific nature of existence. Then, they would be different from each other, like berries in a pot. This is not the case. They are not separate from their own existence, just as the form and other qualities are in a pot, the hands and feet are in the body, and the essence is in the pillar. This explanation shows that even in the relationship of support and supported, there is no destruction of existence. Now, the nature of the body is explained. They are large in terms of particles, because the word "particle" refers to space here, and they are large in terms of particles, because they are made up of many particles. They are large in terms of two particle aggregates, because they are large in terms of two particles. This is the nature of the body. If it is asked, how can there be a body of one space? Then, it is said that the nature of the body is due to the power of smoothness and roughness, which is the cause of the aggregates, and is present in them. The nature of the body is not present in the particles of time, because they do not have the power of smoothness and roughness, which is the cause of bondage. Why is there no power? Because they are immortal. Thus, the specific names of the five categories of existence, their existence, and their nature as bodies have been explained. The meaning of this verse is that the pure living being, which is the body of infinite knowledge, etc., is being explained here. ||4||
**Hindi Commentary Verse 4**
Meaning with Anvaya - (Living beings) infinite living beings (particles) infinite particles, existence [dharma, adharma] one dharma existence, one adharma existence (taheva) similarly (akhand aakash) one undivided space - all these [asthithamhi] in their existence or in their being [niyada] are definite (y) and [anannamahiya] are not separate from their own existence or are one with each other, and [anumahanta] are many in space or are multi-spatial.
Specific Meaning - There are two types of existence - one is general existence or maha-satta, and the other is specific existence or avantara-satta. These five categories of existence, living beings, etc., are situated in both these types of existence. They are not like berries in a pot, which are separate from each other, but they are all one with each other or non-different from their own existence. Just as form, etc., are pervasive in a pot, or hands and feet are in the body, or the essence is in the pillar. This statement shows that even without the support and supported, the oneness of existence is said to be with them. The space is knowable by particles, therefore, the word "particle" should be taken here to mean space. So, all these five substances or categories of existence are larger than their spaces, therefore, they are anumahanta. Two particle aggregates are great because of two particles.
