This is the thirteenth 'Parinamapada' of the Prajnapana Sutra. * The word 'Parinama' has two meanings here - (1) The transformation of any substance from one state (Avastha) to another, without complete destruction or complete permanence, is Parinama, or (2) Parinama is the destruction in relation to the previous Satparyaya and the emergence in relation to the subsequent Asatparyaya. * This chapter discusses the Parinama of both Jiva and Ajeeva. * In Indian philosophies, Sankhya and other philosophies are Parinamavadi, while Nyaya and other philosophies are not Parinamavadi. * Philosophers who believe in the non-duality of Dharma and Dharmi accept Parinamavada, and those who believe in the ultimate duality of Dharma and Dharmi do not accept Parinamavada. * No object is completely destroyed, but it undergoes transformation or change of state. The destruction of the previous form leads to the creation of the subsequent form. This is the fundamental principle of Parinamavada. Therefore, the Tattvarth Sutra, the most important text of Jainism, states 'Tadbhavah Parinama' (meaning - its existence, i.e., being born and destroyed while remaining in its form, is Parinama). From this perspective, the Jiva, regardless of its form or state (Paryaya) in which it is born or destroyed, whether it is a human being, a sense organ, a yoga, a Leshya, a Kshaya, etc., remains in its original form, i.e., the original Jivadravya. Similarly, the transformation of Ajeeva into different forms or states while remaining in its original form is Ajeeva-Parinama. This chapter follows this Parinaminitya, first explaining the different types of Parinama of Jiva, then discussing them in the twenty-four Dandakas like Naraka, etc. Then, the different types of Parinama of Ajeeva are enumerated. Here, only the Parinama of Pudgala is presented in the Ajeeva Parinama, not the Parinama of the formless substances like Dharma, Astikaaya, etc. It is possible that the Parinama of the formless substances like Dharma, Adharma, Akash, Kala is included in the Aguru-Laghu Parinama (which is described as a single type) in the Ajeeva Parinama.
