Pravacanasara
सामान्यार्थ – [उत्पादस्थितिभङ्गाः] उत्पाद, व्यय और ध्रौव्य [ पर्यायेषु ] द्रव्य के पर्यायों में [ विद्यन्ते ] रहते हैं और [हि ] निश्चय करके वे [ पर्यायाः ] पर्याय [ द्रव्यं ] द्रव्य में [ सन्ति ] रहते हैं । [ तस्मात् ] इस कारण से [ नियतं ] यह निश्चय है कि [ सर्वं ] उत्पादादि सब [ द्रव्यं ] द्रव्य ही [ भवति ] हैं, जुदे नहीं हैं।
Origination (utpāda), permanence (dhrauvya) and destruction (vyaya) take place in modes (paryaya); as a rule, modes exist in the substance (dravya), and, therefore, it is certain that all these - origination (utpāda), permanence (dhrauvya) and destruction (vyaya)- - are the substance (dravya) only.
Explanatory Note: These three, origination (utpada), permanence (dhrauvya) and destruction (vyaya), take place in modes (paryāya), and modes exist in the substance (dravya). The seed (bija), the sprout (ańkura), and the tree-ness (vrkṣatva) are parts (ansa) of the whole (ańśī), that is, the tree (vrkṣa). These three parts (ansa) are subject to origination (utpāda), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya) - destruction (vyaya) of the seed entails origination (utpada) of the sprout while tree-ness exhibits permanence (dhrauvya). Similarly, origination (utpāda), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya) are the three parts (ansa) pertaining to the modes (paryaya) of the whole (ańśī), that is, the substance (dravya). If it be imagined that origination (utpada), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya) take place in the substance (dravya) itself then everything gets shattered. If destruction (vyaya) were to take place in the substance (dravya), existence (sat) itself would vanish. If origination (utpada) were to take place in the substance (dravya), there would be creation of infinite substances from nowhere creation of the non-existence (asat). If permanence (dhrauvya) were to take place in the substance (dravya), modes (paryāya) would vanish and without existence of successive modes, the substance, too, would vanish. Therefore, origination (utpāda),
