Fifth is the progenitor (janaka). Regarding dharmas such as nāmarūpa, the skandhas, āyatanas, and dhātus, one falsely imputes that the self can bring about various affairs, like a father fathering a child; this is named progenitor. It is also the imputation that the self comes into the human realm to undergo birth; therefore it is named progenitor.
