Prasavadharmi (प्रसवधर्मि, “productive�).—The term prasava denotes 貹ṇām. That which is of the nature () of transformation (prasava) is called prasavadharmi. Vyakta and avyakta are always 貹ṇāmī. In the Sāṃkhya texts it is stated that the nature of transformation (prasavadharma) is eternally there in the vyakta and avyakta. Thus, to denote the productivity (貹ṇāmśilatā) of vyakta and avyakta, Vācaspati says there are two types of 貹ṇām such as�svarūpa-貹ṇām and virūpa-貹ṇām.
