One calling the other into action, reciprocally causing each
other to act; a condition of the three guṇa or qualities sattva,
rajas and tamas qq. vv.; i. e. ‘one being or acting in the
other; as a handsome and well behaved woman is at the
same time a source of delight to every one else and one of
misery to the other wives of her husband, as well as one
of bewilderment to enamoured damsels, in the same manner
sattwa calls into existence rajas and tamas &c.’, other similes
being used to illustrate that rajas causes the action of sattwa
and tamas, and tamas that of sattwa and rajas. (Vāchaspati
does not recognise this condition of the three qualities;
see anyonyajanana.) E. anyonya and vṛtti.
