The transformation or change of mode of matter is due to this (Guna or attribute or characteristic or quality). This transformation is of two types - beginningless and with a beginning. In formed or tangible matter (pudgala) it has a beginning. Among living beings the Yoga (body, mind and speech) have a beginning and Upayoga (consciousness) is beginningless. (41-44)
