Umāsvāti's Jainism 67 the ajīva type. It would seem to refer to pudgala (matter) which can in some way aid, or be manipulated by the individual to bring about karmic influx. This substratum is divided into:
2 (kinds of) nirvartanā ('production' / 'performance'):
i) mūlaguna - of body, speech, mind, inhalation, exhalation, ii) uttaraguņa - making objects of wood, clay, etc., pictures
and statues. (That is to say, the mūlagunas are what the body performs naturally, and the uttaraguņas are what the body does by extension.)
4 (kinds of) niksepa ('placing' / 'putting down');
i) apratyavekșita - 'without seeing' ii) duspramārjita - 'without cleansing of dust, etc.' iii) sahasa - "hurriedly' iv) anābhoga - 'inattentively/putting something where it ought
not to be put'.
2 (kinds of) samyoga ('combining' / 'mixing up'):
i) bhaktapāna - 'food and drink'/ different foodstuffs' ii) upakarana - 'mixing up things - implements, clothes, etc.'
3 (kinds of) nisarga ('movement'/ 'urging'/ 'operating'):
i) kāya - 'by body ii) vacana - 'by speech' iii) manas - 'by mind'

As Ohira has pointed out, the materials used in Ch. 6 of the Tattvārtha Sūtra are widely dispersed throughout the canonical texts.59 And it would seem that in dividing the substratum (adhikaraņa) of influx into two, jīva and ajīva, Umāsvāti is either drawing on two different canonical lists or, more likely, in making this division he is expanding his
