The opening at 1 asked for the easy understanding of beginners. This verse says the training is in two views, kept as two. Kaṇāda (कणाद)'s six categories are the Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) sūtra (सूत्र). The seventh, absence, and the later definitions of the four means, are the primer's own synthesis, and the way into both rooms.
