Chapter 5 - Verse 19-20
Now, it describes the characteristics of pudgala through actions: body, speech, mind, inhalation, and exhalation are the properties of pudgala. 19. Happiness, sorrow, life, and death are also properties of pudgala. 20.
Among many pudgalic actions, some are shown here that bestow favor or impose restraint on the living beings. All physical forms, such as the gross body, are made of pudgala; however, the physical body is indeed a substance that, through its relationship with other gross substances, produces the effects of happiness and sorrow; just as grains are related to water, thus it should also be understood as pudgala.
From such types of language, the expressive language is a specific power that is obtained through the destruction of the veils of knowledge and the obstructions of insight and the rise of the non-manifestation. It is relative to pudgala, and inspired by a powerful soul, it takes the form of speech, which is a substance of language.
The emotive aspect and the functional aspect of the mind, stemming from the conceptual knowledge and the reduction of the veils of knowledge, give rise to actions like the analysis of virtues and faults, memory, etc., in which the mind is engaged.
