Meaning
Outer, the commentary explains, means the elements and the gods (adhibhūta and adhidaiva); inner, the body and mind (adhyātma). The whole world, with all of these, gains its existence, the being by which we can say of each thing "it is", by being joined to it in an imagined identity. Whatever "is" borrows its "is" from here.
