The meaning of the sutra is that since the six substances and the five categories of existence are inseparable, the substance itself should be considered. ||9|| Thus, in the second place, the verse has been stated to remove the doubt regarding the non-difference of substance and existence, the word "substance", and its etymology.
Hindi meaning commentary verse-9 General meaning-(That) which (Tai Tai) its own (Swabhavpjjaayi) nature-like synonyms (Daviyadi) absorbs (Gachchadi) obtains (Tan) that (Daviyam) substance (Bhapante) is called (Tu) but that substance (Sattado) from existence (Ananabhudam) is inseparable.
