Commentary
Now, the 蝉补迟迟腻诲惫补颈迟补 of the author of Nirukta is concluded (see stanza 23).
[Read verse 35 above]
[It has already been shown in the 闯腻迟颈蝉补尘耻诲诲别艣补 that 蝉补迟迟腻, mah膩s膩manya or Being is the meaning of all words, because it is the characteristic of everything. It is this Being which manifests itself as things and processes (siddha and 蝉腻诲丑测补), expressed by nouns and verbs respectively. It also manifests itself as the things to be experienced and as the experiencers. These things which are manifestations of its powers constitute, the whole universe.]
Another view of action, already mentioned in the 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-蝉补尘耻诲诲别艣补 (33, 34) is now referred to.
