We
must again remember in this connection the doctrine of refilling,
for as buddhi exhausts its part in giving rise to aha@mkara, the deficiency
of buddhi is made good by prak@rti; again as aha@mkara
partially exhausts itself in generating sense-faculties, the deficiency
251
is made good by a refilling from the buddhi. Thus the
change and wastage of each of the stadia are always made good
and kept constant by a constant refilling from each higher state
and finally from prak@rti.
The Tanmatras and the Parama@nus [Footnote ref 1].
The other tendency, namely that of tamas, has to be helped
by the liberated rajas of aha@mkara, in order to make itself preponderant,
and this state in which the tamas succeeds in overcoming
the sattva side which was so preponderant in the buddhi,
is called _bhutadi._ From this bhutadi with the help of rajas are
generated the _tanmatras,_ the immediately preceding causes of the
gross elements. The bhutadi thus represents only the intermediate
stage through which the differentiations and regroupings of tamas
reals in the mahat proceed for the generation of the tanmatras.
