This acknowledges time as a substance. But the Tattvarthabhashyakar, while accepting time as a substance, does so based on the opinions of other Acharyas, not his own. This is why he has mentioned only five Astikayas wherever he has mentioned substances in the Tattvarthamadhyama, and has described the world as being made up of five Astikayas. The Shvetambar Agam literature mentions six substances, and in one place, the Tattvarthabhashyakar also mentions six substances, but this does not mean that he considers time as a form. The reason is that wherever the Shvetambar Agam literature mentions six substances, the word 'Addhasamay' is used for time substance, not the word 'Kal', and the meaning of the word 'Addhasamay' here is taken as a synonym, not a spatial substance. The Tattvarthabhashyakar has also followed this practice. In the Tattvarth Sutra, where the word 'Kal' appears, he has used the word 'Kal' while explaining it, but in the Sutras where the word 'Kal' does not appear, and where he considered it necessary to mention 'Kal', he has used the word 'Addhasamay' instead of 'Kal'.
These two situations of the Tattvarthabhashya and the accepted Sutra text help us to conclude that initially, a Sutra like 'Kalich' would have been created, but later it would have changed to 'Kamaschetyeke'.
**2. Style**
Here, two words need to be said about the style of Sutra creation in context. Looking at the Sarvarth Siddhi accepted Sutra text, it can be said that nothing is said in it by the principle of 'Pariseshannyaya'. It simply moves forward by explaining the Sutras and their terms. On the other hand, when we look at the Tattvarthabhashya, we do not see a definite style. Sometimes they accept 'Pariseshannyaya' and sometimes they don't. For example, the two Sutras 'Seshanam Samurchhanam' and 'Ashubhah Papasya' should not have been said by the principle of 'Pariseshannyaya', yet he has considered them as independent Sutras and left out 'Seshastrivedah' and 'Atonyatpaapam'. In such a situation, it does not seem reasonable to say that Acharya Pujyapada gave these the form of independent Sutras after seeing the Tattvarthabhashya. In fact, the Tattvarthabhashyakar has not been able to put himself in such a position that a definite line can be drawn about him. Take the example of the body section of another chapter. In it, both types of the origin of the Vaikriyika body are shown in the Sutras, but when the topic of the Tejas body came, he did not consider it necessary to show the type of its origin in the Sutra. Can it be said, looking at this section, that this inconsistency would have been pleasing to the original Sutrakar? Such inconsistencies are also seen in other Sutras of the Tattvarthabhashya. In the fourth chapter, the Sutra that describes the Laukantik Devas comes, while describing the differences of the Laukantik Devas, nine differences are shown, but in the Tattvarthabhashya, they are reduced to eight by the words 'Ete Sarasvatadayoshtavidha Deva'.
**3. Consideration of Priority**
Although the situation of Sarvarth Siddhi and Tattvarthabhashya is quite different from the previous section,
1. Sarva Panchatvam Astikaya Avrodhat. A. 1, Su. 35. Panchaastikayo Lokah. A. 3, Su. 6. Panchaastikayaatmakam. A. 9, Su. 7.
2. Shattvam Shat Dravyavrodhat. A. 1, Su. 35.
3. A. 5 Su. 11.
