8.13

"Relying upon generic similarity and life-force, it causes the mind and so forth to continue": this clarifies what is relied upon in the formless realm. The desire and form realms have a body, so the mind operates in reliance upon the body. The formless realm has no body, so the mind operates in reliance upon generic similarity (nikāyasabhāga) and the life-faculty (jīvitendriya).
