Pariņāma in Tarka-Period

artificial Pariņāma because it depends upon human effort. 50
Siddhasena, the commentator of the Tsū and its bhāşya, while commenting on the Tsū. V. 22 gives Prayoga, Visrasā and Miśra as the varieties of 'gati' or 'kriyā. 4 0 It must be noted that he does not refer to those varietes viz., Samudāyakşta, Aikatvika etc., which he discusses in his tīkä on the Tsū. V. 29.
From the above, it can be seen that while Siddhasena Divā. kara, Abhayadeva, and Siddhasena the commentator of the Tsū. and its bhāşya, apply the two types of Pariņāma, Prayoga and Visrasă, chiefly to changes of Pudgala, Dharma, Adharma, and Akāśa i. e. to Ajiva substances only, Akalamka and Vidyānanda .extend them to Jįva also.
The above analysis of Pariņāma into Prayoga and Visrasa is an attempt to explain two types of causation, one natural and the other invloving human agency. This obviates, for the Jain, the necessity of postulating a Creator, because he is able to explain all the happenings in the universe by these two types of Pariņāmas.

The distinction or analysis of Paryāya into Artha--Paryāya and Vyañjana-Paryaya is to be found for the first time in the Sanmati-Tarka of Siddhasena Divakara.
