The description of the six-fold *astikaya* and the five-fold *astikaya* has been given. In the same way, the *dharma* substance, being self-established, moves due to its own inherent cause, and becomes an external cause for the movement of the *jiva* and *pudgala* without any motivation. Although the *dharma-astikaya* is indifferent, it is a cause for the movement of the *jiva* and *pudgala*. Just as water is indifferent, yet it is helpful in the movement of fish due to their own inherent force. Just as the earth is helpful for the horses that are self-established, and the shade is helpful for the travelers, in the same way, the *adharma-astikaya* is self-established, yet it is an external cause for the state of the *jiva* and *pudgala* due to its own inherent cause. This is the opinion of Bhagwan Shri Kundakunda Acharya Dev. || 88 ||
This is a discussion about the indifference of *dharma* and *adharma* as causes. Those who have movement, their state of being is also possible. They make movement and state of being through their own transformations. || 89 ||
*Dharma* never acts as a cause for the movement of *jiva* and *pudgala*, and *adharma* never acts as a cause for their state of being. If they were the main causes (motivating causes) for the movement and state of being of others, then those who have movement should only have movement and not state of being, and those who have state of being should only have state of being and not movement. But since we see both movement and state of being in the same entity, it can be inferred that they are not the main causes. However, they are indifferent as established by the practical approach. How then do the entities that have movement and state of being have movement and state of being? All entities that have movement and state of being definitely make movement and state of being through their own transformations. || 89 ||
Thus ends the explanation of the *dharma* and *adharma* substances and their *astikaya*.
**Anvaya-artha:** (Those who have movement) those who have movement (their state of being is also possible) then they have state of being [and those who have state of being, they have movement]. (They) those (entities that have movement and state of being) then (through their own transformations) through their own transformations (make movement and state of being) make movement and state of being.
**Tika:** This is said regarding the indifference of *dharma* and *adharma* as causes.
In reality, *dharma* never acts as a cause for the movement of *jiva* and *pudgala*, and *adharma* never acts as a cause for their state of being. Because if they were the main causes (motivating causes) for the movement and state of being of others, then those who have movement should only have movement and not state of being, and those who have state of being should only have state of being and not movement. But the same entity (the same entity) has both movement and state of being.
