6. (These are) the conditions of existence, the passions, sex, wrong belief, wrong knowledge, non-restraint, non-attainment of perfection (imperfect disposition) and colouration, which are of four, four, three, one, one, one and six kinds.
'Respectively' is supplied from the previous sutra (2). The numbers are taken respectively. The conditions of existence are four, viz. condition of infernal existence, condition of subhuman existence, condition of human existence and condition of celestial existence. On the fruition of name karma of infernal existence, the disposition of an infernal being is manifest. Hence this is called arising from infernal existence (narakagatiraudayiki). Similarly with regard to the other conditions of existence. The passions are of four kinds, anger, pride, deceitfulness, and greed. That which rouses anger on its fruition is anger-rousing. Similarly with regard to the three other passions. The sexes are three, the male, the female and the neuter. The rise of female feeling occurs on the fruition of karmas of the female sex. Similarly with regard to the other two sexes. Wrong belief is one. The disbelief in reality is the result of the fruition of karmas of wrong belief. The rise of knowledge-covering karmas causes non-cognition of objects. That is the arising of ignorance. The rise of intense conduct-deluding karmas gives rise to non-restraint. Imperfect disposition arises on the fruition of karmas in general. Colouration is of two kinds, material colouration and psychical colouration. As this chapter deals with the psychical factors of the soul, there is no reference here to material colouration. Bhavalesya is the source or cause of vibratory activity of the soul coloured by the passions. Hence it is called an arising. It is of six kinds, namely black, blue, grey, colour of a flame (yellow), colour of lotus (pink) and white.
Now, it is mentioned in the scriptures that there is the presence of white colouration in the case of the omniscient, and those whose passions are subsided or destroyed. How is that arising possible, as they are not coloured by the passions? It
