It is also considered a 'dravya'. Jiva-dravya are infinite. They are all arupa and have the quality of being conscious, so they are constantly the doers and experiencers of their own external and internal results, and they are also the knowers of their own and others' results. In addition to jiva-dravya, there are four other 'ajiva-dravya' which are devoid of consciousness and have the quality of inertness. These are: 1. 'Dharma-astikaya' dravya, which is 'arupa' and has the quality of 'motion-helper'. 2. 'Adharma-astikaya' dravya is also arupa and has the quality of 'position-helper'. 3. 'Lokaloka praman 'Akasha-astikaya' dravya is also arupa, having the quality of giving space. 4. 'Pudgala-astikaya' dravya is a rupa dravya, which is filled with particles, regions, and atoms, and has the nature of filling and melting, and is endowed with qualities like color, smell, taste, and touch. 4. The need for knowledge of the 'jagat' and its form as jiva and ajiva dravya.
The omniscient and all-seeing Shri Vitrag Jineshwara has called the entire 'jagat' a collection of jiva and ajiva dravya, and it is also established that this 'jagat' is eternal, infinite, and 'pancha-astikaya-maya'. Therefore, all the dravya that are seen in the 'jagat' and come in the enjoyment and consumption of jiva dravya are all pudgala dravya, and in the association and dissociation of the various results of the inert pudgala dravya, those who experience happiness, sorrow, etc. in different forms are different jiva dravya. Because inert dravya do not have the knowledge and consciousness of experiencing happiness, sorrow, etc. Therefore, from the Jain point of view, the entire 'jagat' is divided into two substances: jiva and ajiva, and the various results of ajiva are directly visible. 1.
