Commentary

atra kāraṇa-kāryayor virakty-arocakatayor abhedoktir anyonyāvyabhicāritvāpekṣayā |
(Excerpt from the Durgama-saṅgamanī-ṭīkā and Bhakti-sāra-pradarśinī-ṭīkā)

“Here there is a statement of the non-difference between non-attachment and an absence of taste, that is, of cause and effect, considering their mutual invariability [i.e., their invariably occurring together on account of their being the cause and effect of one another].”
