As for why faculties are explained next after dhātus: the "Dhātu-nirdeśa" explains the essences (svabhāva) of all dharmas, while the "Indriya-nirdeśa" explains the functions (kāritra) of all dharmas. Relying on essence, function arises; therefore faculties are explained next. Question: This chapter explains the functions of conditioned \[dharmas\] in detail; why is it titled with "faculties"? Answer: Although this chapter explains the functions of conditioned \[dharmas\], because faculties are analysed first and their function is predominant, it is titled with them. Question: The Miśrakābhidharmahṛdaya calls it the "Saṃskāra-nirdeśa", and the Nyāyānusāra calls it the "Viśeṣa-nirdeśa"; why does this treatise call it the "Indriya-nirdeśa"? Answer: In this chapter, the intention is to explain function: faculties definitely manifest function. Although "saṃskāra" means producing action, it can also manifest flux; hence its manifestation of function is not definitive. Although "viśeṣa" (distinction) also manifests different functions, it can manifest the distinction between existence and non-existence, or manifest the distinction between conditioned and unconditioned; hence its manifestation of function is also not definitive. Therefore our treatise master titled it with "faculties". > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.2) - [Next: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.4) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821~en-mt.3.3) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [俱舍論頌疏論本](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.2) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.3) · Pramāṇa
