Figure VI
is the area where all the entities that possess dharma X exist. The area inside the left-side smaller rectangle is the area where all the entities that do not possess dharma X exist. It is to be noted that in Figure VII the part of area B outside of area D is shown to be in the right-side rectangle and the part of area C outside of area D is shown to be in the left-side rectangle. This is important because if the part of area B outside of area D is in the right-side rectangle and the part of area C outside of area D is in the left side rectangle, there is no possibility that we may have such a case as shown by Figure VI, i.e. the case that the part of area B outside of area D is included in the part of area C outside of area D and thus the relation that dharma C is a pervader of dharma B may hold. Then why is the part of area B outside of area D shown to be in the right-side rectangle, and the part of area C outside of area D in the left-side rectangle in Figure VII? The reason is that Figure VII shows the situation when external-substance-ness is chosen for dharma X. Indeed, that which possesses the nature of being a substratum of a perceptible touch and does not possess the nature of having a manifested color possesses external-substance-ness13, while
