षड्द्रव्य - पंचास्तिकायवर्णन
विशेषार्थ - द्रव्यके लक्षण तीन हैं जैसा कि पीठिकाके व्याख्यानमें कहा गया है अर्थात् जिसमें सदा सत्ता पाई जावे, जिसमें उत्पाद व्यय ध्रौव्यपना हो तथा जो गुणपर्यायका धारी हो वह द्रव्य है इन छहोंमें तीनों लक्षण पाए जाते हैं, इसलिये ये छहोंद्रव्य हैं। इनमेंसे कालद्रव्य कायवान नहीं हैं क्योंकि जैसा वह प्रदेशोंका अखंड समुदायरूप कायपना विशुद्ध ज्ञान दर्शन स्वभावधारी शुद्ध जीवास्तिकाय आदि पाँच अस्तिकायों के है वैसा कालाणुओंके नहीं है जैसा कहा है
२६८
जैसे रत्नोंका ढेर सब स्थान रोककर भी भिन्न-भिन्न रतनको रखता है वैसे कालाणु सब लोकाकाशमें एक एक प्रदेशपर एक एक करके व्याप्त हैं । तथापि वे परस्पर कभी मिलते नहीं हैं वे कालाणु असंख्यात द्रव्य हैं। कालाणु गणना में लोकाकाश के प्रदेशों की संख्या के बराबर असंख्यात द्रव्य हैं। यहाँ यह तात्पर्य है कि केवलज्ञान आदि शुद्ध गुण सिद्धत्व अगुरु लघुत्व आदि शुद्धपर्याय सहित जो शुद्ध जीव द्रव्य हैं, उसके सिवाय शेष पाँच द्रव्य त्यागने योग्य हैं ।। १०२ ।।
इसतरह कालके अस्तिकायपना नहीं है, परन्तु द्रव्यसंज्ञा है ऐसा व्याख्यान करते हुए पाँच स्थलमें गाथा सूत्र कहा ।
तदवबोधफलपुरस्सरः पञ्चास्तिकायव्याख्योपसंहारोऽयम् ।
एवं पवयणसारं पंचत्थिय संगहं वियाणित्ता ।
जो मुयदि राग-दोसे सो गाहदि दुक्ख परिमोक्खं ।। १०३ ।। एवं प्रवचनसारं पञ्चास्तिकायसंग्रहं विज्ञाय |
यो मुञ्चति रागद्वेषौ स गाहते दुःखपरिमोक्षम् ।। १०३ ।।

## Six Substances - Description of Five Astikayas

**Special Meaning:** The characteristics of a substance are three, as stated in the introductory lecture, namely: that which always exists, that which undergoes production, decay, and transformation, and that which is the bearer of qualities and modifications. All six possess these three characteristics, hence they are six substances. Among these, time is not an Astikaya, because it does not possess the characteristics of the five Astikayas, such as the pure knowledge, perception, nature, and pure Jiva Astikaya, which are present in the undivided aggregate form of space. As it is said:

**268** Just as a heap of jewels, while occupying all space, holds different jewels, so too, the time atoms are present in all space, one by one, in each region. However, they never meet each other. These time atoms are countless substances. The number of time atoms is equal to the number of regions in space, which is countless. Here, the implication is that except for the pure Jiva substance, which includes pure knowledge, etc., pure qualities, and pure modifications like omniscience, non-duality, lightness, etc., the remaining five substances are to be abandoned. **102**

In this way, time does not possess the characteristics of an Astikaya, but it is a substance. This is explained in the five sections of the Sutra.

**Result of Understanding:** This is the conclusion of the explanation of the five Astikayas.

**103** Thus, having understood the essence of the teachings and the collection of the five Astikayas, whoever abandons attachment and aversion, he attains liberation from suffering.

**103** Indeed, nothing else is taught in the entire discourse except the five Astikayas, which are related to time. Therefore, this collection of the five Astikayas is the essence of the teachings. Whoever understands this meaning, which encompasses the essence of all reality, and recognizes his own self, which is within the Jiva Astikaya, as being eternally pure and luminous in nature, and observes the modifications of his own nature, which are caused by the continuous chain of karma, attachment, aversion, and their consequences, and experiences them as his own, and whose light of discrimination, kindled by this understanding, extinguishes the chain of karma, the consequences of attachment and aversion, he, like an atom that is attracted to the qualities of pure love and repelled from future bondage, falls away from past bondage, and, like a drop of water heated to a boil, attains liberation from suffering.

**Meaning of the Sentence:** [Thus] in this way, [the essence of the teachings] the essence of the teachings, [the collection of the five Astikayas] the collection of the five Astikayas...
