________________ CHAPTER FIVE 189 unaccountable. Hence to posit the substance dharma and adharma apart from and independent of ākāśa is proper. When the things physical and conscious are mobile by nature then motion on their part within a limited ākāśa-region should not be accountable on the basis of their own nature—that is, without positing a definer in this connection; hence the existence of the substances dharma and adharma is reasonably demonstrated. 17-18.

Manas of the bhāva type in the form of labdhi and upayoga is paudgalika because it is dependent on pudgala.
