विशेषार्थ-जीवादि पाँच अस्तिकाय हैं। इनको किसी पुरुषविशेषने बनाया नहीं है। ये अपनी सत्तासे ही निवृत अथवा निष्पन्न हुए हैं अतः विद्यमान हैं। यह लोक इन पाँच अस्ति-कायोंका व कायरहित एक प्रदेशी काल द्रव्यका इस तरह छः द्रव्योंका समुदाय है जैसा कहा है-'जीवादिषद्रव्याणां समवायो मेलापको लोकः' इति तथा यह लोक उत्पादव्यय व ध्रौव्य स्वरूप है इसीसे इस लोकका अस्तित्व देखा जाता है, क्योंकि कहा है "उत्पादव्ययध्रौव्ययुक्तं सत् इति'' तथा यह लोक अर्ध्व, मध्य, अधो इन तीन अंशोंको रखनेवाला अवयवसहित है इससे इसको बहु प्रदेशी या कायपना कहा गया है। यह सूत्रका भाव है ।।२२।।
इस तरह छः द्रव्योंके मध्यमें जीवादि पाँच द्रव्यको अस्तिकाय संज्ञा है ऐसी सूचना - करते हुए गाथा पूर्ण की।
समय व्याख्या गाथा-२३ अत्रास्तिकाथत्वेनानुक्तस्यापि कालस्यार्थापन्नत्वं द्योतितम् । सम्भाव-सभावाणं जीवाणं तह य पोग्गलाणं च । परियट्टण-संभूदो कालो णियमेण पण्णत्तो ।। २३।।

## Description of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas with Anvaya and General Meaning:

(Jiva) Infinite Jivas (Puggala-kaya) Infinite Puggala-kayas (Aayasam) One Akasa (Sesa Astikaiya) The remaining two Astikayas, Dharma and Adharma, are the substances. These five Astikayas (Amaya) are not created, (Asthitt-maya) they exist by their own nature, and (Hi) certainly (Logass) are the (Karanabhuuda) cause of this Lok.

## Specific Meaning:

Jiva and the other five Astikayas are not created by any particular person. They exist by their own nature and are therefore present. This Lok is a combination of these five Astikayas, a space without a body, and the substance of time, making a total of six substances. As it is said, "Jivaadi-shad-dravyaanam samavaayo melapako lokah". This Lok is characterized by creation, destruction, and permanence. This is how the existence of this Lok is observed, as it is said, "Utpada-vyaya-dhrauvya-yuktam sat iti". This Lok has three parts: above, middle, and below. It is also made up of many parts and is therefore called "bahu-pradeshi" or "kaya-pana". This is the meaning of the sutra.

## Conclusion:

This way, the information about the five Astikayas, Jiva and the others, being among the six substances is conveyed, and the verse is completed.

## Time Explanation:

## Verse 23:

Even though time is not mentioned as an Astikaya, its existence is implied. The Jivas and Puggala are characterized by their existence and nature. Time, born from change, is defined by rule.

## Explanation:

Since Jivas and Puggala exist by their own nature, there is a continuous change in them, characterized by creation, destruction, and permanence. This change is observed in the presence of the cause of cooperation. It is like the change in motion, stillness, understanding, and transformation. The cause of cooperation is time. Since this change cannot be explained without time, it is certain that time exists even though it is not mentioned. The time used in everyday life is synonymous with the definite time. It is understood to be dependent on the change in Jivas and Puggala, as it is manifested by them.
