Questions and answers in each of these triplets are identical with those in the triplet last set out on ' bodily intimation ' (§§ 844-846), the only varying elements being the specific kind ^f form inquired into and its definition in the second answer of each triplet. Thus the schema of the questions is (i.) personal and not . . . (ii.) external and . . . (iii.) external and not . . .^ Such are the Categories of Form under Threefold Aspects. [End of] the Exposition of Triplets. ^ There are several omissions in the printed text, break- ing into the symmetry of the triplets, viz. : question and answer (iii.) on akasadhatu (following § 851); question and answer (iii.) onrupassa upacayo (following § 865); question and answer (i.) on rupassa santati (following § 865). These, if duly inserted, would bring the number of questions (and answers) at the end of this chapter up to 879, instead of 876. Had the triplets been grouped as such, the omissions would not have been possible. [Chapter IV.

The former term in the pair combined is, with its negative, a relative constant, there being a series of only six, namely, the concept of form as derived, as the product of karma, as that which breeds karma (literally, is karma-is/i or karm-mts), as im- pressing the senses, as faculty, and as one of the elements (i.e., the opposite of derived, conceived positively). The latter five of these six are in turn used as the relatively variable term, with the addition of three others : the concept of form with respect to grossness or delicacy, to distance, and to visibility. 2 On sound and karma, see p. 201, n. 4. 233 wrought, whether it be in the spheres of visible forms, odours, or tastes, the element of space, the integration or subsistence of form, or bodily nutriment.
