Bhagavati in Skandaka-Adhikāra states that Loka has infinite agurulaghu modes, Infinite agurulaghu modes are predicated not only of loka but also of soul substance (jiva), liberation (siddhi), and the liberated (siddha) (2. 1. sū. 91). Thus we have here a suggestion of the process of creation out of nothing. From this it becomes clear that Bhagavati contains different strata of thought. Hence we can say this much that here an attempt is made to demonstrate that even dharma, adharma and äkāśa undergo changes or modifications. This attempt is the result of the emergence of a novel thought that reals without exception should undergo changes. A stage in the development of this novel thought is represented by the aphorism 5.42 of Tattvärthasūtra and the Bhāsya thereon wherein we are told that transformation is of two kinds, without beginning and with beginning, and further that the transformation of arūpi (nonmaterial) substances is of the first kind. The difference of opinion regarding the authenticity of this sūtra as also regarding its interpretation is due to the emergence of this novel thought which has not yet been crystallised.
One should refer to Ac. Jinabhadra's Visesavaśyakabhāsya (gāthā. 654-663) for the logical treatment of the properties viz. guru, laghu, gurulaghu and agurulaghu.
