The destruction of the six substances and the five astikayas is attributed to the absence (destruction) of the same, because it is obtained. (3) It destroys the existing (present) gods and their equivalents, therefore it is called the doer of the destruction of existence (destruction of the existing). And (4) again, it produces the non-existent (non-existent) humans and their equivalents, therefore it is called the doer of the production of non-existence (production of the non-existent).
- All this is flawless (blameless, unobstructed, uncontradictory) because it is stated from the secondary nature of one of the substances and the primary nature of the other. It is as follows:
When the jiva is intended from the secondary nature of the astikaya and the primary nature of the substance, then it (1) is not produced, (2) is not destroyed, (3) does not function in sequence, therefore it does not destroy the existing (present) group of astikayas and (4) does not produce the non-existent (non-existent group of astikayas). And when the jiva is intended from the secondary nature of the substance and the primary nature of the astikaya, then it (1) is produced, (2) is destroyed, (3) destroys the existing (present) group of astikayas whose time has passed, and (4) produces the non-existent (non-existent group of astikayas) whose time has arrived (has come).
This grace is truly of the Anekantavada, that even such contradiction (truly) is not contradiction. ||21|| Thus, the general description of the six substances is complete.
