Here, both the blue cloud resting atop Meru and the smoke belonging to the fire of the cosmic end are the standards of comparison.
The Lord mounted on Garuḍa, whose body is dark, is the subject of comparison.
And with those two standards of comparison, under the guise of doubt, non-difference is established in the Lord: “Is this such a thing? Or is it such a thing?”
And no reason for difference of the subject of comparison from those two standards of comparison is stated here, as in the previous case.
And the result of such an expression is the suggestion of the ornament of simile:
that the Lord mounted on the son of Vinatā is similar to such a pair of standards of comparison.
