are." And the purpose of the moment is from time. By pure nay, we mean the subtle ṛjusūtra nay, which is in its own state along with time, as opposed to the ṛjusūtra tay. Its origin is from the support of kāladravy.

Gāthā 570 571
The nimitta kāraṇa for the change in the sattā rūpa svabhāva of the jīva, as well as the pudgala, and also the dharma dravy, adharma dravy, and ākāśa dravy, is kāla dravy by rule.
Doubt - What is the sahakāri kāraṇa in the parināmana of kāla dravy?
Solution - Kāla dravy is the sahakāri kāraṇa in its own parināmana. Just as ākāśa dravy is the base of the remaining seven dravyas and its own base is also śrāpa, similarly kāla dravy is also the sahakāri kāraṇa in the parināmana of all other dravyas and is also the sahakāri kāraṇa in its own parināmana. * Or, just as a lamp, a pot, a cloth, and other substances, while being the illuminator of other substances, is also the illuminator of itself, and does not need another lamp etc. to illuminate it, similarly kāla dravy, while being the nimitta kāraṇa of the change of other jīva, pudgala, etc. dravyas, also changes itself, and does not need any other dravy for it [Ghaval Pu. 4 p. 320 - 321].

Doubt - Just as kāla dravy is its own upādāna kāraṇa and the sahakāri kāraṇa of its own parināmana, why are not all the dravyas, like jīva etc., also their own upādāna kāraṇa and the sahakāri kāraṇa of their own parināmana? What is the purpose of kāla in their parināmana?
Doubt - Can it be doubted?
Solution - It is not so, if there is no need for a different external sahakāri kāraṇa, then there will be no need for dharma, adharma, and ākāśa dravy, which are the sahakāri kāraṇa for the ordinary motion, state, and śravagāhana of all dravyas. The work of kāla is visible directly as a clock, day, etc., but the work of dharma dravy etc. is known only from śrāgama. If the effect of kāla dravy is accepted, then the effect of dharma dravy, adharma dravy, and ākāśa dravy will also be accepted in the same way, and then only two dravyas, jīva and pudgala, will remain, which is against śrāgama.
How can there be parināmana in alokaākāśa if there is an effect of kāla dravy in lokaākāśa?
