[ III. 38-42
Thus we connect the building with the past, present and future. A very important point to be remembered here at this stage is that when we want to adjust Utpada, Sthiti and Nasa in one particular Dravya, we should take modificatory change of the substance (Dravyaparyaya) or the modificatory change of the attribute (Guṇa paryaya) to illustrate them because the pure Dravya or the pure Guna shall not be able to make room for them. When the aforesaid Utpada, Sthiti and Nasa are to be adjusted with reference to any single Dravya-paryaya1 or Guṇaparayāya, that very Paryaya is first of all singled out and treated as an independent entity different from all the Paryayas of a similar or a dissimilar character. This is only the way to understand Reality in its particular aspect. 35-37

Discussion of Dravyotpada according to Vaisesika:
दव्वंतर संजोगाहि केचि दवियरस बेंति उप्पायं ।
qazarsgaar famnari u şegfa || 35 |||
1 Physical body resulting from a combination of similar substances such as atoms is called a modificatory change of the substance. Modificatory changes such as man-ness etc., originating from a conglomeration of dissimilar substances namely soul and matter (Pudgala) are also called modificatory changes of the substance. Decreased or increased transformation of the attributes such as colour or vitality residing in the substance is called a modificatory change of the attributes.
