Footnote 4:
It is indeed difficult to say what was the earliest conception of the
guṇas. But there is reason to believe, as I have said elsewhere, that
guṇa in its earliest acceptance meant qualities. It is very probable
that as the Sāṃkhya philosophy became more and more systematised it
was realised that there was no ultimate distinction between substance
and qualities. In consequence of such a view the guṇas which were
originally regarded as qualities began to be regarded as substantive
entities and no contradiction was felt. Bhikshu in many places
describes the guṇas as substantive entities (_dravya_) and their
division into three classes as being due to the presence of three
kinds of class-characteristics. This would naturally mean that within
the same class there were many other differences which have not been
taken into account (_Yoga-vārttika_, II. 18). But it cannot be said
that the view that the guṇas are substantive entities and that there
is no difference between qualities and substances is regarded as a
genuine Sāṃkhya view even as early as Śaṅkara. See _Ghābhāshya_, XIV.
