characterized by origination (utpada), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya). The space-points (pradeśa) of the substance are its extension, which is permanent. The transformation (pariņāma) in each space-point (pradeśa) is sequential. Due to the transformation (pariņāma) in the substance (dravya), the space-points (pradeśa), in their own place, experience origination (utpāda) of the new state and simultaneous destruction (vyaya) of the old state. Since the substance (dravya) inheres in all space-points, it must exhibit permanence (dhrauvya) too. Picture a necklace with its pearls and the thread, sequentially. As we proceed, there is the origination (utpāda) of the pearl tha comes in view and the destruction (vyaya) of the pearl that is no more in view. And, the thread that joins the pearls together stays in the view throughout; it exhibits the permanence (dhrauvya) of the necklace. Similarly, the substance (dravya) exhibits origination (utpāda) with regard to its upcoming stage in transformation (parināma), destruction (vyaya) with regard to its stage prior to transformation (pariņāma), and permanence (dhrauvya) with regard to its substantiveness (dravyatva). The substance (dravya), thus, has three marks (laksana) - origination (utpada), destruction (vyaya), and permanence (dhrauvya).
