5.587

The Commentary states: This presents his own position. 'Sovereign' has the sense of mastery, the sense of being a cause and support; because it serves as the support for those [others], it is called unshared. Why is ignorance called unshared? Because, from the beginningless limit, showing that it constantly arises in the long night, continually confused internally, it is born at all times, never reflecting, revealing that it constantly grasps the self and has no time of turning back through cultivation; this overall intention reveals the meaning of delusion as sovereign and having mastery.
