"This set of tattvas, commencing with 'earth' and ending with _kalá_, is assigned to each soul, "And wanders by the law of _karman_ through all the bodies produced by the world." The following is the full meaning of this passage:--The word "_internal organ_," which properly includes "mind," "intelligence," "egoism," and "reason,"[139] includes also the seven tattvas which enter into the production of enjoyment [or experience], viz., those called _kalá_, time, fate, knowledge, concupiscence, nature, and quality;[140] the words "_thought_" (_dhí_) and _karman_ signify the five cognisable gross elements, and their originators, the subtile rudiments. By the word "_instruments_" are comprehended the ten organs of sense and action. "But is it not declared in the Śrímat Kálottara that 'The set of five, sound, touch, form, taste and smell, intelligence, mind and egoism, these constitute the _puryashṭaka_?'" How, then, can any different account be maintained? We grant this, and hence the venerable Ráma Kaṇṭha has explained that sútra in its literal meaning [_i. e_., as _puryashṭaka_, is derived from _ashṭa_, "eight"], so why should we be prolix in the discussion? Still, if you ask how we can reconcile our account with the strict nominal definition of _puryashṭaka_, we reply that there is really no contradiction, as we maintain that it is composed of a set of eight in the following manner:--(1.) The five elements; (2.) the five rudiments; (3.) the five organs of knowledge; (4.) those of action; (5.) the fourfold internal organ; (6.) their instrument;[141] (7.) nature [prakṛiti]; and (8.) the class composed of the five, beginning with _kalá_, which form a kind of case.[142] Now in the case of some of those souls who are joined to the _puryashṭaka_ body, Maheśvara Ananta having compassionated them as possessed of peculiar merit, constitutes them here as lords of the world; as has been said-- "Maheśvara pities some and grants them to be lords of the world." The class called _sakala_ is also divided into two, as _pakvakalusha_ and _apakvakalusha_. As for the former, the Supreme Being, in conformity with their maturity (_paripáka_), puts forth a power agreeable thereto, and transfers them to the position of the hundred and eighteen Lords of the Mantras, signified by the words Maṇḍalí, &c., as has been said-- "The rest are denominated _sakala_, from their connection with _Kalá_, &c., seized by time whose mouths are days; "The Supreme of his own will makes one hundred and eighteen of these the Lords of the Mantras. "Eight of these are called _Maṇḍalins_; eight again are Krodha, &c.; "Víreśa, Śríkaṇṭha, and the hundred Rudras,--these together are the hundred and eighteen."
