Commentary
What the final abode of all is, is now stated.
[Read verse 151 above]
[If all material things have an abode or a support, the latter, being itself material, must have a support. And what is that? It is 腻办腻艣补. Stars and planets have 腻办腻艣补 as their support. Somethings have earth as their support but earth itself has 腻办腻艣补 as its support. Parts are the support of the whole. In the last resort, atoms are the support of divisible things but 腻办腻艣补 is the support of atoms.]
Some question the very existence of 腻办腻艣补 and so the proof of its existence, known in the world, is now being given.
