पंचास्तिकाय प्राभृत क्योंकि यह आगमका वचन है कि कार्य उपादान कारणके समान होता है । जैसे जो घट रूप कार्य कुंभार, चक्र, चीवर आदि बाहरी निमित्त कारणोंसे बनता है, उसका उपादान कारण मिट्टीका पिण्ड है। अथवा जो पट या कपड़ा रूप कार्य कुविंद, तुरी, वेम, शालाका आदि बाहरी निमिस कारणोंसे बनता है उसका उपादान कारण तागोंका (धागोंका) समूह है । अथवा ईंघन, अग्नि आदि बाहरी निमित्त कारणोंसे उत्पन्न जो भात रूप कार्य है उसका उपादान कारण चावल या तंदुल है अथवा ककि उदयके निमित्तसे होनेवाले नर नारक आदि पर्याय रूप कार्यका उपादान कारण जीव है । इसी तरह वस्तुओंकी क्रियाविशेषसे प्रगट हो व्यवहार काल है उसका उपादान कारण कालाणु रूप निश्चय काल द्रष्य है ।।२३।।

## Translation:

**Panchaastikaya** is derived from the principle that the effect is similar to the material cause. Just as a pot, the effect, is formed by the external instrumental causes like the potter, wheel, and cloth, its material cause is the lump of clay. Similarly, a cloth, the effect, is formed by the external instrumental causes like the weaver, loom, thread, and shuttle, its material cause is the bundle of threads. Likewise, cooked rice, the effect, is produced by the external instrumental causes like fuel and fire, its material cause is rice or paddy. Or, the effect of the cycle of birth and death, like human or hellish beings, is caused by the arising of karma, its material cause is the soul. In the same way, the **time** that is manifested by the specific actions of objects is the **time-atom** (**Kalaanu**), the material cause of the **definite time** (**Nischya Kala**).

**Time Explanation Verse 24:**

**Time** is devoid of five colors and five tastes, devoid of two smells and eight touches, it is neither heavy nor light, it is formless, and it is characterized by change.

**Hindi Explanation of Verse 24:**

**Time** (**Nischya Kala**) is devoid of five colors and five tastes, devoid of two smells and eight touches, it is neither heavy nor light, it is formless, and it is characterized by change.

**Sanskrit Explanation of Verse 24:**

This verse further explains the nature of **definite time**. It is devoid of five colors, five tastes, two smells, and eight touches. It is neither heavy nor light, it is formless, and it is characterized by change. This **time-atom** (**Kalaanu**) is the material cause of **definite time**. It is like the wheel of a potter, which rotates continuously, and the fire that helps in the process of learning. It is like the stone beneath the wheel, which supports the wheel's rotation. It is the external cause of change.

**Note:** The translation preserves the Jain terms like **Panchaastikaya**, **Kalaanu**, and **Nischya Kala**.
