Explanation in English from 膧c膩rya P奴jyap膩da鈥檚 Sarv膩rthasiddhi:
If there is no expansion or contraction in the absence of cause, then there would be no movement upwards without cause, just as there is no movement downwards or sideways. So the emancipated soul should remain at the place of emancipation. This doubt is cleared in the next 蝉奴迟谤补.
Immediately after what? Immediately after attaining release from all karmas. The soul goes up to the end of the universe.
