## Six Substances - Description of Five Astikayas
Therefore, these are called causes, while the Jiva substance, although it works together like a teacher and student, does not benefit the five substances like Pudgala, etc. in any way. Therefore, they are without cause - this is the ninth cause-related authority in the six substances.
With the pure Dravyarthic Nay, which perceives the pure parinaamic param bhaav, although the Jiva is not the doer of bondage, liberation, substance or bhaav, punya, paap, or the creation of ghat-ghat, etc., yet with the impure Nishchay Nay, it is the doer of the bondage of punya and paap, and the enjoyer of their fruits, as it undergoes parinaaman from the auspicious and inauspicious uses. When this Jiva undergoes parinaaman from the pure use of Samyak Shraddha, Samyak Gyaan, and Samyak Charitra of the pure Atma Dravya, then it is also the doer of liberation and the enjoyer of its fruits. It is worth knowing that the doership of parinaaman in auspicious, inauspicious, and pure bhaavs is everywhere. The five substances like Pudgala undergo parinaaman in their own nature, this is the doership in them. In reality, they are not the doers of punya, paap, etc., but are non-doers. This is the tenth doership authority in the six substances.
There is one Akash substance spread throughout the Lok and Alok, therefore it is called Sarvagat. Dharma and Adharma are Sarvagat in comparison to their pervasiveness in the Lokakash. The Jiva substance is not Sarvagat except for the state of Lok-purn, in comparison to one Jiva, i.e., it has a body, size, and shape except for the Samudghat. In comparison to many Jivas, the entire Lokakash is full of Jivas. The Pudgala substance is Sarvagat in comparison to the Maha-skandha of Lok-pramaan. The rest of the Pudgalas are not Sarvagat. Pudgala is also Sarvagat because the entire Lok is filled with Pudgala. The Kaal substance is not Sarvagat in comparison to each Kaalanu substance, but it is Sarvagat in the Lok in comparison to countless Kaanus of the size of the regions of the Lok. This is the eleventh Sarvagat authority in the six substances.
Although all substances are pervading in one area with the Vyavhaar Nay, and are entering into each other, yet they do not leave their own conscious or unconscious nature with the Nishchay Nay. This is the twelfth authority called Anyony Pravesh in the six substances.
Here, among the six substances, the one who is the bearer of the qualities of Vitarag, Chidanandamay, etc., who is the pure Atma Dravya itself, in which there is no activity of mind, speech, and body, is the one who is worthy of being perceived. This is the meaning.
