Bhagavai 5:2:51-56
-: 207 :Jainism, the doctrine of change of modes or the doctrine of transformation has been accepted. Colour, smell, taste and touch are the qualities of matter, which undergo change due to the action of some other entity on them (prāyogika) or due to their own nature (svābhāvika). The change brought about in rice due to the conjunction of fire is a chånge due to action of some other entities. There are all kinds of colour in a material atom or a material body. So a jar made of the atoms of black earth, when burnt in fire, becomes red. For the support of this explanation, there is no need of any special doctrine of change. Semantics puvvabhāvapannavaṇam (pūrvabhāvaprajñāpanām)-appearance of past modes. paducca (pratītya)—with reference to, due to. satthātīyā (sastrātīte)-exposed to weapon. satthaparināmiyā (sastrapariņāmitāni)—transfer by weapon. aganijjhamiyā-roasted in fire.
