Seven principles—Buddhi), egoism (Ahankara) and the five icrtellect i-nonatras (subtle rudiments)—are productions and Productive. Buddhi is productive, as Ahankara is evolved out of it. it is produced also, as it itself is evolved out of prakriti. Egoism is a production, as it is derived from intellect. It is productive, as it gives origin to the five c rudiments or Tanmatras. The subtle rudiments are derived from egoism. Hence they are productions. They give origin to the five elements. Hence they are productive. The sixteen principles, the ten organs, the mind and the five elements, are productions only. They are unproductive, because none of them can give birth to asubstance essentially different from itself. The Purusha or Spirit is neither a production, nor is it productive. It is without attributes.
