(utpāda) nor destruction (vināśa) of the substance (dravya). The substance (dravya) subsists through the origination (utpāda) as well as the destruction (vināśa). Moreover, the two phenomenaorigination (utpāda) and destruction (vināśa) - are different [as there is the change of modes (paryāya)].
Explanatory Note: In this ever-changing world, the substance (dravya), when viewed from the standpoint-of-substance (dravyārthika naya), undergoes neither origination (utpāda) nor destruction (vyaya). It has permanence (dhrauvya) as it maintains own-nature throughout. From this standpoint, origination (utpāda) and destruction (vyaya) are not different. When viewed from the standpoint-of-mode (paryāyārthika naya), the substance undergoes both, the origination (utpāda) and the destruction (vyaya). From this standpoint, origination (utpāda) and destruction (vyaya) are different. The view that the pot and the lump-of-clay are the same can be true only from the point of view of the substance, i.e., the clay. Similarly, the view that the destruction (vināśa, vyaya) and the origination (utpāda) are the same can stand scrutiny only from the point of view of the substance (dravya). Under this standpoint, origination of the state of the celestial being and destruction of the state of the human being happen in the same substance, i.e., the soul (jīva). What originates is the same as what is destroyed; the soul (jīva) exhibits permanence (dhrauvya) in its states of existence. When viewed from the standpoint-of-mode (paryāyārthika naya), however, there is difference between the two. The view that the pot and the lumpof-clay are not the same is true from the point of view of the mode (paryāya). Similarly, the view that the destruction (vināśa, vyaya) and the origination (utpāda) are not the same stands scrutiny from the point of view of the mode (paryāya). The statement that one thing gets origination (utpāda) and another thing gets destruction (vināśa, vyaya) cannot be true if the thing is viewed from the
