(2494) Trans. 195-196-197-198-199. The deity (in charge ) was asked one hundred and forty-four questions as follows :-Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Sky, Time, Direction, Soul, and Mind are called the nine main substances. Porm, Taste, Odour, Touch, Number, Shape, Length, Distinction, Combination, Separation, Remoteness, Vicinity, Intellect, Happiness, Misery, Desire, Aversion, and Effort--these are seventeen Guņas or properties. And there is Karman or Action which is of five varieties viz Those of 1. Throwing up, 2. Throwing down, 3. Expanding, 4. Contracting and 5. Moving. The sāmānya or Genus (divided into) generality of existence, general property, and (generality of) particular (elements). There are višeşa (particularity ), and sámānya (co-inherence). (Thus there are ) six (categories of) elements 11, of which there are thirty-six varieties. On multiplying these (thirty-six) by prakriti or the root-form, a-kāra (i. e. prefixing 3 to the word ), no-kāra (i. e prefixing at to the word), and both together (i. e. prefixing and at both to-gether), there will be one hundred and forty-four questions. (2490 - 2494 )
11. According to Vaišeşikas there are seven elements : Dravya (substance) Guņa (quality ) Karman (action ) Sāmánya (Genus ) Viseşa (partioularity) Samavāya (co-inherence and Abhāva (Nonexistence Tainas do not admit abhāva.
