c27.2

It may be noted here that this distinction of Acts into ‘Pradhāna’, Primary, and ‘Guṇa’, Subsidiary, is quite different from the subject of Aṅga or Śeṣa (Auxiliary) and Aṅgin or Śeṣin, (Principal): as the former distinction is applicable to Acts alone, while the latter is a relationship between Acts on the one hand and Substances, Qualities and Purifications or Embellishments on the other. (See Sūtra 3. 1. 1, *et seq.*) [See below, p. 272]
