(162) If those were material things, those will be exhausted; but since those are not material things, those are inexhaustible, thus it is called inexhaustible (ṣaⲹ). (163) Since the dharma is momentary, even if the dharma is consumed, it would never be exhausted. There is nothing exhausted in that inexhaustibility, thus it is called inexhaustibility (ṣaⲹ) [...]’�.
