Next it explains its characteristics: first explaining empty-empty: saying "empty-empty means having nothing at all" explains its meaning of emptiness; "it is none other than the liberation of the non-Buddhist Nirgrantha" criticizes in terms of the person; "yet this Nirgrantha in reality has no liberation" explains emptiness in terms of the person; "the true is not like this" clarifies that it has a distinct emptiness.
