The female and male indriyas have two predominances: first, difference in sentient beings; second, difference in discrimination. Difference in sentient beings: due to these two indriyas, sentient beings differ into female and male classes. Difference in discrimination: due to these two indriyas, their bodily forms, voices, breasts, and so forth differ (the male form is large, the female form is small; the male voice is robust, the female voice is delicate; the male breasts are small, the female breasts are large). The life indriya has two: first, sustaining the past nikāyasabhāga; second, maintaining the present nikāyasabhāga. The mind indriya has two: first, continuing future existence; second, sovereign conformity. 'Future existence' is the existence at birth; arising thoughts of lust or hostility during the intermediate existence, it then continues into birth existence. The śāstra cites a sūtra: 'At that time, the gandharva acts with either of two minds, namely either accompanied by lust or accompanied by hostility, etc.' (Gandharva here means 'seeking fragrance', which is the name of the intermediate existence. The male intermediate existence arises lust towards the mother and hostility towards the father; the female intermediate existence arises lust towards the father and anger towards the mother). 'Sovereign conformity': a sūtra says, 'The mind can lead the world (meaning sovereignty); the mind can encompass all (meaning conformity); thus this single phenomenon of mind has all conform to it in sovereignty.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.8) - [Next: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.10) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.3.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.9) · Pramāṇa
