लघुतत्त्वस्फोटः इयं सदित्युक्तिरपेक्षतेऽसद्यावृत्तिसीमन्तितसत्प्रवृत्तिः (त्तीः) । जगत्समक्षां सहसव जहू : स्वभावसीमानमथान्यथार्थाः ॥१३॥

The expression “exists” is relative (to non-existence); it anticipates the negation of that very "existence" since all real activities (pravrtti] have this (dual nature) as their boundary. If one describes reality as being) other than this, then the reals (so described) would immediately depart from their innate boundaries as these are directly experienced by the world. (13) [188]
सर्व सदित्यैक्यमुदाहरन्ती कृत्वाऽपि सद्भेदमसंहरन्ती ।। न सत्तया पोयत एव विश्वं पीयेत सत्तैव यदीश ! तेन ॥१४॥
sarvam sad ity aik yam udāharanti
krtvā'pi sadbheda asamharanti / na sattayā piyata eva viśvam
pîyeta sattaiva yad isa tena //14/1
O Lord! The expression “all exists,” even in asserting the unity of all reals (insofar as they share the characteristic of “existence"), does not deny the diversity among them. The universe is not (completely) taken by the term "exists”; (rather, this description of the reals is) itself subsumed within the universe (i.e. the universe has further aspects). (14) [189]
सत्प्रत्ययः संस्पृशतीश ! विश्वं तथापि तत्रैकतमः स आत्मा । असन् स सन्नन्यतयाऽभिधत्ते द्वैतस्य नित्यप्रविजृम्भितत्वम ॥१५॥
satpratyayaḥ samsprśatiśa viśvam
tathāpi tatraikatamaḥ sa ātmā / asan sa sann an yatayā 'bhidhatte

O Lord ! The cognition of "existence" certainly touches the entire) universe. Even so, the soul is only part of that (great existent, i.e. they are not identical. Hence), this (soul) is (both) “non-existent" (as universe) and "existent” (as part). This difference (between soul and "existence") indicates (that every object is similarly non-unitary, and hence) that there is an infinitely expanding diversity (in the universe). (15) [190]
