534> Mr. CoLEBROOKE on the Philosophy of Indian Sectaries. 



4th. Antardya, interference, or obstruction offered to those engaged in 

 seeking deliverance, and consequent prevention of their accompHshment 

 of it. 



II. The second contains : — 



1st. Vedamya, individual consciousness : reflection that " I am capable 

 of attaining deliverance." 



2d. Ndmica, individual consciousness of an appellation ; reflection that 

 " I bear this name." 



3d. Gutrica, consciousness of race or lineage : reflection that " I am 

 descendant of a certain disciple of Jina, native of a certain province." 



4th. Ayiishca, association or connexion with the body or person : that, 

 (as the etymology of the term denotes,) which proclaims (cayate) age 

 (^ciyiish), or duration of life. 



Otherwise interpreted, the four carmas of this second set, taken in the 

 inverse order, that is, beginning with aytishca, import procreation, and sub- 

 sequent progress in the formation of the person or body wherein deliverance 

 is attainable by the soul which animates it ; for it is by connexion with white 

 or immaculate matter that final liberation can be accomplished. I shall not 

 dwell on the particular explanation respectively of these four carmas, taken 

 in this sense. 



Another arrangement, which likewise has special reference to final deli- 

 verance, is taught in a five-fold distribution of the predicaments or categories 

 (asticdya). The word here referred to, is explained as signifying a substance 

 commonly occurring ; or a term of general import ; or (conformably with 

 its etymology,) that of which it is said (cayate), that " it is " (asii) .- in other 

 words, that of which exsistence is predicated. 



I. The first hjivdsticdya : the predicament, life or soul. It is, as before 

 noticed, either bound, liberated, or ever-perfect. 



II. Piidgaldsticdya : the predicament, matter : comprehending all bodies 

 composed of atoms. It is sixfold, comprising the four elements, and all 

 sensible objects, fixed or moveable. It is the same with the Jjlva or second 

 of the seven categories enumerated in an arrangement before-noticed. 



III. Dharmdsticdya : the predicament, virtue ; inferrible from a right 

 direction of the organs. Dharma is explained as a substance or thing 

 (draxya) from which may be concluded, as its effect, the soul's ascent to 

 the region above. 



IV. Adharmdsticdya ; tlie predicament, vice : or tlie reverse of the
