3. The differences in doctrine based on the sutras pertain to the following eight subjects and two main issues, which will be discussed in detail later. These include the theoretical discrepancies of both traditions and the various opinions available in both versions of the Tattvarthasutra. We will first discuss the eight subjects of difference found in both versions. 1. 1:34-35, there are five kinds of nayas: Nigama, Sangraha, Vyavahara, Rijusutra, and Shabda. This is supported by the Avasikha Niyujjuti 144. (33) By including Samabhirudha and Evambhuta, their number becomes seven. - Anuyogadarsana 953; Avasikha Niyujjuti 754. Siddhasena Divakara also considers six nayas, but most scholars of both traditions regard it as seven nayas. Therefore, such a difference, which must have developed at various levels, cannot truly be called a disagreement. 2. 2:13-14, there are three types of sthavara: Earth, Water, and Vegetation. Tejas and Vayu are tras. - Than 3. 3.215; Jivajivabhinama 1.22 etc.; Uttaradhyayana 36.60-70 etc. (13) Sthavara consists of five types: from Earth to Vegetation. - Than 5.1.488; Prashamarati 192. 3. 2:31, in intervals of movement, the soul remains unmovable for three times. - Bhagavai 7.1.259; Suyagad Niyujjuti 174 (30) it remains only for two times. - Pannavana 1175 a (Dikshit, Jain Ontology, p. 87).
