Meaning
The commentary on verses 49 and 50: there is no world in it, no support, nothing supported, no seen, no seer, no cosmic egg, no Brahmā, and nowhere the herd of people blind with pride and delusion. The vaitaṇḍikas are those who argue only to refute, who hold no view of their own: there, Vasiṣṭha says with a smile, even they have nothing to stand on.
