## Description of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas
**Verse 45 of the Hindi Commentary**
This verse further explains that there is a certain inseparability, a unity, between substance and qualities.
**General Meaning with Anvaya:**
(Davyagunaanam) The unity and inseparability (avibhattam, anannatam) of substance and qualities (nichchayahu) are known to those who are certain. (Vibhattam anannatam) They do not desire their separation and difference (nichchati). (Va) Or (tersi) they do not accept (tabivaridam) their opposite nature, i.e., their difference from their own nature, as being certain (hi).
**Specific Meaning:**
Just as an atom is inseparable from its qualities like color, etc., meaning there is no difference in their respective regions, similarly, the pure soul substance is inseparable from its inherent qualities like pure knowledge, etc., and the impure soul is inseparable from its inherent qualities like perception and knowledge, etc., and the remaining substances are inseparable from their respective qualities. It is necessary to understand that there is no difference in the regions of substance and qualities. Those who are certain, like the Jain Acharyas, do not accept that there is a difference between the Himalayas and the Vindhya mountains, or that there is a difference in the regions of water and milk when they are in the same area. Even though they do not accept this difference between substance and qualities, they also do not accept that substance and qualities are completely inseparable from each other. In other words, just as there is inseparability in terms of regions between substance and qualities, they do not accept that there is inseparability in terms of designation, etc. In other words, they do not accept that substance and qualities are either completely inseparable or completely separate. They do not accept both unity and difference without any basis, but they accept both natures based on different bases. Unity in terms of regions leads to inseparability. The Acharyas believe that designation, etc., leads to difference between substance and qualities.
The implication here is that the person who experiences the taste of the nectar of supreme bliss, which is the unity and non-dualistic supreme joy that comes from the pure knowledge and perception of the self-essence, free from the objects and passions that are different from the pure knowledge and perception of the self-essence, is the one who is worthy of receiving that self. This self is one with countless pure regions, the size of the space of the universe, and its qualities of pure knowledge, etc.
**Verse 45**
In this way, the explanation of the inseparability and separability between quality and the qualified has been explained briefly in three verses. These verses are numbers 43, 44, and 45.
**Note:**
The dependence of designation, etc., on the difference between substance and qualities is rejected here.
