Again the pointing to the interval, now the fourth time in the book (4.58, 5.5, 5.49, here).
Here it is called daśā-antara — “the between-time, the interval of states”.
Note the expression acala-acalaḥ — “more motionless than the motionless”. Intensification by repetition.
And the formula of contemplation: nāhaṃ nedam — “neither I nor this”.
It is the shortest of all in the book and perhaps the fullest. Both poles are denied at once.
The next two verses will develop this pointing into a whole exercise.
