36. Those that are designated by names like 'Dāma,' 'Vyāla,' and 'Kaṭa,' act as the sole agents according to what is obtained, and whose intrinsic nature (dharma) is merely consciousness.

37. karmaṇām abhāvāt ca te prāktanāḥ vāsanāḥ na ca
nirvikalpaka-cinmātra-parispanda-eka-dharmakāḥ
37. Due to the absence of actions (karma), they are not past latent impressions (vāsanāḥ); rather, their sole intrinsic nature (dharma) is the vibration of mere undifferentiated consciousness.
