Note 140 — Chapter VII · THE ŚAIVA-DARŚANA.

These are the seven viḍyá-tattvas, kalá, kála, niyati (fate), vidyá, rága, prakṛiti, and guṇa. Hoisington, however, puts purushan "the principle of life," instead of guṇa, which seems better, as the three guṇas are included in prakṛiti. He translates kalá by "continency," and describes it as "the power by which the senses are subdued and the carnal self brought into subjection."
