Verses 71 & 72
The doctrine of non-absolutism (anekāntavāda) declares that the substance and its modes show oneness as well as separateness in some respects only:
द्रव्यपर्याययोरैक्यं तयोरव्यतिरेकतः । परिणामविशेषाच्च शक्तिमच्छक्तिभावतः ॥७१॥ संज्ञासंख्याविशेषाच्च स्वलक्षणविशेषतः । प्रयोजनादिभेदाच्च तन्नानात्वं न सर्वथा ॥७२॥
सामान्यार्थ - द्रव्य और पर्याय में कथञ्चित् ऐक्य (अभेद) है, क्योंकि उन दोनों में अव्यतिरेक पाया जाता है। द्रव्य और पर्याय कथञ्चित् एक दूसरे से नाना-रूप भी हैं, क्योंकि द्रव्य और पर्याय में परिणाम-परिणामी का भेद है, शक्तिमान् और शक्तिभाव का भेद है, संज्ञा (नाम) का भेद है, संख्या का भेद है, स्वलक्षण का भेद है, और प्रयोजन आदि का भेद है। (आदि शब्द से काल एवं प्रतिभास का भेद ग्रहण किया गया है।)
The substance (dravya) and its mode (paryāya), somehow, exhibit oneness (with each other) as both these have logical continuance (avyatireka). The two also, somehow, exhibit separateness (from each other) as there is difference of effect (pariņāma and pariņāmī), of capacity (saktimāna and Saktibhāva), of designation (samjnā), of number (samkhyā), of self-attribute (svalaksana), of utility (prayojana), and so onl. The substance and its modes, thus, are neither absolutely one nor absolutely different; as established by the doctrine of nonabsolutism (anekāntavāda), these two, the substance and its modes, show oneness as well as separateness in some respects only.
1. Time (kāla) and appearance (pratibhāsa) are also included.
