Paper published in Jain Journal, Vol.XXVI-2, 1992. Jaina Logic, Ahimsā Mandir, New Delhi, 1981, p.8. Bhāratīya Dharma cvam Ahimsā, Ahimsā Mandir, New Delhi, 1983, pp. 143-151. In Jain Logic naya is a point of view. Naya primarily is of two kinds (1) dravyārthika-the point of view of substance and (2) paryayarthika - the point of view of modes. Each of these two are of three kinds, making six as the total number of wayas. With the help of all these six nayas one can investigate the whole Reality and know it. This theory is known as Nayavāda, which is earlier and on which stands the system of Syadvada - the theory of relativity. V.No. 1801. Op. cit., p.147. Some scholars think that Anekantavada and Syadvāda are one and the same. Dr. Darbarilal Kothia rightly opposes this view for Syadvāda, which is bascd on Nayavāda, is just the systematizer of Anekāntavāda.
