## Fifth Special Chapter (Chapter of Categories) [439]
This is the presentation of the categories of non-living things (Ajiva). Thus, the description related to the categories of non-living things is also complete.
The five sutras (Sutras 554 to 558) present the categories of the gross, medium, and subtle provincial skandhas, as well as the categories of the gross, medium, and subtle qualities, the categories of perception, position, and the categories of black, etc., and the categories of smell, taste, and touch, from different perspectives.
The medium quality black pudgala in its own place can fall into any of the six places. There can be infinite parts or infinite qualities less than, equal to, or more than another medium quality black pudgala, because there are infinite possibilities of medium quality. Similarly, all the colors, etc., up to touch, with medium quality, fall into any of the six places in their own place.
Why is the position of the infinite provincial skandha with excellent perception considered to be the same? The infinite provincial skandha with excellent perception pervades all the worlds. It can either be the non-conscious great skandha or the karma skandha in the state of the omniscient's liberation. Both of these have only four times: the time of the rod, the time of the door, the time of the front, and the time of the filling. Therefore, it is said to have the same position.
