**Five Astikayas** are eternal, but in relation to the nature of their transformation, which is characterized by heaviness and lightness, they are impermanent. They are also impermanent in relation to the transformation of their manifestation and expression. The five substances, namely, **pudgala**, **dharma**, **adharma**, **akasha**, and **kala**, are the causes because they perform actions such as the body, speech, mind, breath, and the activities of going, staying, understanding, and revolving of the living being. The living being substance, however, does not perform any action on the five substances, **pudgala** etc., even though it interacts with them in the form of teacher and student, etc. It is not a cause.
The living being is not the doer of **karma** and its effects, such as **punya** and **papa**, which are the absence of the substances of **bandha** and **moksha**, according to the pure substance-based view, which is the view of the **katta** (doer) and the pure **parinaama** (result) and the **param** (supreme) state. However, according to the impure view, the living being, being transformed by the use of good and bad, becomes the doer of **punya** and **papa** and the enjoyer of their fruits. When transformed by the pure use, which is in the form of pure knowledge, pure vision, pure nature, pure self-substance, right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, it becomes the doer of **moksha** and the enjoyer of its fruits. It should be understood that the act of doing is the transformation of good, bad, and pure results. The act of doing of the five substances, **pudgala** etc., is their own transformation by their own nature. The act of not doing is in the form of **punya** and **papa** etc., due to the activity of the substance.
**Akasha** is said to be all-pervasive in relation to its pervasiveness in the world and beyond the world. The living being substance is all-pervasive in relation to its pervasiveness in the world, but it is not all-pervasive in relation to each individual living being. It becomes all-pervasive in relation to all living beings after abandoning the state of filling the world. The **pudgala** substance is all-pervasive in relation to the great **skandha** in the form of the world, but it is not all-pervasive in relation to the rest of the **pudgala**. The **kala** substance is not all-pervasive in relation to each **kalaanu** substance. It is all-pervasive in the world in relation to the different **kalaanu** substances, which are the measure of the region of the world.
It is also said that although all substances exist in relation to each other through their mutual entry into each other's sphere of activity, they do not abandon their own nature, which is conscious, unconscious, etc., in reality. Among the six substances, the pure self-substance, which is characterized by the qualities of freedom from attachment, pure consciousness, and pure bliss, and is devoid of good and bad mental, verbal, and bodily activities, is the only one that is worthy of being attained.

From here onwards, the special explanation of the five **astikayas** mentioned in the **"Jiva Poggalakaya"** etc. **gatha** is given. There, the explanation of the **Jiva Vastikaya** is begun with three **panchaash** **gatha** and nine **antar** chapters in the order of the text. Among those three **panchaash** **gatha**, the first one is the **"Jivothi Havdi Cheda"** etc. **gatha**, which is the **sutr** **gatha** of one chapter, for the purpose of indicating the order of the nine chapters, with the establishment of the living being first, for the sake of the disciple who follows the **Charvaka** view.
The three **shloka** **"Tatraadou Prabhuta Taavaj Jeevatvam Deha Maanata. Amoortatvam Cha Chaitanyam Upayogaat Tatha Kramaat. 1. Kartritaa Bhoktrita Karmayuktatvam Cha Trayam Tathaa. Khyate Yogapadhyena Yatra Tatra Anupoorvatha. 2."** indicate the explanation of the chapters in order, with the establishment of the **sarvagna** first, for the sake of the disciple who follows the **Bhatta** view.
First, the explanation of **prabhutva** is the main one, and the two **gatha** **"Karam Amal"** etc. are for the sake of the establishment of **sarvagna** for the disciple who follows the **Bhatta Charvaka** view. After that, the three **gatha** **"Paanehi Chaduhi"** etc. are for the sake of the establishment of the living being for the disciple who follows the **Charvaka** view, in the form of the explanation of **jeevatva**. Then, the two **sutr** **"Jah Paum"** etc. are for the sake of establishing the living being as only its own body, for the disciple who follows the **Nyaya**, **Mimamsa**, and **Samkhya** views. After that, the three **sutr** **"Jesim Jiva Sahaavo"** etc. are for the sake of explaining the formlessness of the living being, for the disciple who follows the **Bhatta Charvaka** view. Then, the two **sutr** **"Kammaan Fal"** etc. are for the sake of refuting the **Charvaka** view again, with the explanation of the establishment of eternal consciousness. Thus, thirteen **gatha** are passed with the **gatha** of the chapter at the beginning and the five chapters after that. Then, for the sake of addressing the disciple who follows the **Nyaya** view...
