Chapter Five $ 607. The word "parinaama" has been mentioned many times. In response to the question of what its meaning is, it is said:
That which is, is parinaama. ||42|| $ 608. Some believe that qualities are different from substance. Is this your (Jain) view? No, it is said that although qualities are somewhat different from substance due to the difference in designation, etc., they are not different from substance due to their non-separation from it and their being its parinaama. If this is so, then tell us what parinaama is. To determine this, it is said: The way in which substance, such as dharma, etc., exists is called tadbhaava or tattva, and this is called parinaama.

Those that are found in multiple substances are called general qualities, and those that express the specific nature of each substance are called specific qualities.
