4. The Svetāmbara version has three additional aphorisms to elaborate the types of modifications. Their meaning differs from this commentary. However, their commentaries agree in essence with the Digambara contention of two-fold modifications in all the realities. These additional aphorisms have been taken care of by Akalanka in his semiaphorisms 5.42.3-4. 5. This aphorism indicates that the modes are different from attributes as they are modifications in attributes themselves. They are successive rather than co-existing. 6. Logically, Vidyānanda agrees that the modes themselves have two varieties- co-existing and successive. Thus, both the modes are involved in the modal standpoint. Hence, there is no necessity for a thirdattributal-standpoint.
