'Tradition says it is light and darkness' identifies the essential nature of the space element. It should be known that this essential nature is not separate from day and night: day takes light as its essential nature, and night takes darkness as its essential nature. According to the Sautrāntika school, the space element is nominal (prajñapti). For the Sarvāstivāda masters, the space element is real (dravya), having light and darkness as its essential nature. Because the author of the treatise leaned toward the Sautrāntika, he said 'tradition says'.
