[...] Further, as for the purity of morality, [...] open space cannot be grasped (anunīta-gagana—anunītaṃ gaganam), and also that morality cannot be grasped; open space has no basis, and no basis has also that morality; open space is not non-existent, and not non-existent is also that morality; open space is permanent, and permanent is also that morality; open space is imperishable, and imperishable is also that morality; [...]”.
