Second, distinguishing their substantial nature: the nature of the five aggregates is exclusively conditioned, because they are accumulations. The *Kośabhāṣya* states: 'The aggregates do not subsume the unconditioned, because the meaning does not apply.' Furthermore, the *Abhidharma* states: '*Yin* are phenomena subject to death; they only subsume the conditioned.' Among the three natures, they are the paratantra-svabhāva. Because they speak of existent phenomena, they are not the parikalpita-svabhāva. Because they extend to the anāsrava, they are also the pariniṣpanna-svabhāva. Among the five dharmas, their substantial nature consists of the first four, excluding only suchness. The twelve bases and eighteen realms generally take both the conditioned and unconditioned as their substantial nature; they comprehensively subsume the five dharmas and the two natures, excluding the parikalpita-svabhāva, because it lacks substantial nature.
