1.132

述曰:此即世間法種種相,如有外道,名吠世史迦,立六句義:一、實;二、德;三、業;四、有;五、同異;六、和合。或立十句,如下當知。實者,諸法體實,德、業所依,名之為實。德、業不依有性等故。德者,道德;業是作用、動作義也。有數論者,立二十五諦:我是前門,法中但有二十四諦。此舉吠世前三句義等。餘三句及諸師法,至下當知。

The Commentary states: This refers to the various aspects of mundane phenomena. For instance, there are heterodox teachers named the Vaiśeṣikas who establish six categories (padārtha): first, substance (dravya); second, quality (guṇa); third, action (karma); fourth, existence (sāmānya/bhāva); fifth, particularity (viśeṣa); sixth, inherence (samavāya). Or they establish ten categories, as should be known below. 'Substance' refers to the real essence of things, which serves as the support for quality and action; hence it is called 'substance', because quality and action do not depend on existence and the rest. 'Quality' means moral quality and attribute; 'action' means the sense of functioning and movement. There are also the Sāṃkhyas who establish twenty-five principles (tattvas): the self belongs to the preceding topic [of self]; among phenomena, there are only twenty-four principles. Here [the Treatise] mentions the first three categories of the Vaiśeṣikas and so forth. The remaining three categories and the doctrines of other masters should be known below.
