The sixth alternative approach explains the characteristics of establishing kauśalya based on revealing the affairs of sentient beings and so forth, having five parts: 1. establishing the six faculties of the eye and the rest based on revealing the affairs of sentient beings; 2. establishing the two faculties of masculinity and femininity based on revealing the growth of sentient beings; 3. establishing the single life-faculty based on revealing the gradual diminution of sentient beings' lifespan; 4. establishing the five faculties of suffering and so forth based on revealing the flourishing and decline of sentient beings; 5. establishing the eight faculties of faith and so forth based on revealing the merits and faults of sentient beings.
