Verse 16
eternal from the substance (dravya) point of view and noneternal from the form (paryaya) point of view.
When we think of the object from both the substance (dravya) and the form (paryaya) points of view simultaneously, it presents existence as well as non-existence at once, and as there is no word in our language except indescribability that can represent the idea that arises in the mind at that time, we express this by the word 'indescribable' (avaktavya).
