A Hard Book of Jainology sadhu, Indra seated in the divine assembly with all his splendour are examples of Bhavnikshep.
Here, Dravyanikshepa has been deemed to be that which lies in the causative substance. In the same manner, even an object which is partly causative may be called by that name. For e.g. an Abhavya Acharya also is a Dravya Acharya. Brushing the teeth etc. done in the morning also are dravya avashyaks. The 4 Niksheps can exist in the same person (daily new) the name which is a mere Shabdha, the shape which is sthapana, the condition which is causation, and the meaning of the name is Bhavanikshep.
Every object has the 4 Nikshepas. But it may have more also. For example, the Loka has Nikshepas like Kshetraloka, Bhavaloka, Kalaloka. This is said, “The jiva and ajiva live in the Loka, not in the Ali ka." Here Kshetraloka is referred to, "The jiva keeps wandering in Loka because of ignorance". Here Loka means existence.
