These forms may respectively be called the material and the phenomenal forms of the pot. The material form of a thing is determined by its name, locality, matter and time of existence. The phenomenal form is characterized by the absence of these factors.
The four determining factors of the material form are thus explained :(a) The name of the pot points to something
that has a contracted neck, (b) The locality of the pot points to the place
where it is standing.
