Indra and Namuci on grief, composure, and inevitability

Devanagari script

एवं पज्चत्रिका होते गुणास्तदुपलब्धये । येनायं त्रिविधो भाव: पर्यायात्‌ समुपस्थित:,इस प्रकार ये तीन-तीनके पाँच समुदाय हैं, ये सब गुण कहे गये हैं। इनसे शब्दादि विषयोंका ग्रहण होता है, जिससे ये कर्ता, कर्म और करणरूपी त्रिविध भाव बारी-बारीसे उपस्थित होते हैं

Transliteration

evaṃ pañcatrikā hote guṇās tad-upalabdhaye | yenāyaṃ trividhō bhāvaḥ paryāyāt samupasthitaḥ ||

Translation

Thus there are five sets of three; they are called “qualities” (guṇas) because through them the objects such as sound are apprehended. By their operation, the threefold complex—agent, action, and instrument—arises in succession, becoming manifest one after another.
