Notes:<br />

1 The three tija-råpas viz., lahutà, mudutà and kamma¤¤atà<br />

are also called lahutàdi-råpas.<br />

2 The four lakkhaõa-råpas are not produced by any cause.<br />

They just denote the arising (birth), existing (decay)<br />

and dissolving (death) nature of real råpas.<br />

Grouping of Material Qualities (Råpa-kalàpa)<br />

The 28 types of råpa are not found separately in nature. They<br />

are produced by the four causes in the form of tiny material<br />

groups called kalàpas. Kalàpas have the following four features:<br />

1 All the råpas in a kalàpa arise together, i.e. they have a<br />

common genesis.<br />

2 They also cease or dissolve together, i.e. they have a<br />

common cessation.<br />

3 They all depend on the four great essentials present in<br />

the kalàpa for their arising, i.e. they have a common<br />

dependence.<br />

4 They are so thoroughly mixed that they cannot be distinguished,<br />

i.e. they co-exist.
