Section 186 - loan and investment by the company of the companies act

can anyone please explain me subsection 1 of 186 which says that the company shall not make investment through more than two layers of investment companies.
- does that mean that a company should not invest in a company which has two layers of investments??
or
-does that mean that a company should not invest in more than two companies??

Section 186(1) restricts "vertical" layering (investing through a chain of more than two investment companies), not "horizontal" diversification (investing in multiple different companies).
