distinguishes vyañjana paryāya as guņa vyañjana paryāya and dravya vyañjana paryāya incorporating both guņa paryāya and dravya paryāya in it. Others consider aguru laghu sat-guni hāni výddhi alone as sukşma and vyañjana paryāya always sthūla paryāya.
Acarya Subhacandra's different divisions of vyañjana paryāya and their different effects on jīva and pudgala are as follows :
Modifications pertaining to jiva Deva, Nara, Nāraka, etc. Vibhāva dravya vyañjana paryāya Mati, abadhi iñāna
Vbhāva guņa vyañjana paryāya Siddha paryāya
Svabhāva drayva vyañjana paryāya Ananta catuṣtaya
Svabhāva guņa vyañjana paryāya Modifications pertaining to pudgala Molecules
vibhāva dravya vyañjana paryāya Modifications in the shade or
degree of colour, taste, etc. of molecules
vibhāva guņa vyañjana paryāya Paramāņu
svabhāva dravya vyañjana paryāya One particular colour, taste, etc. of a paramāņu
svabhāva guņa vyañjana paryāya 9. G. R. Jain in his book Cosmology Old and New has explained that the aguru laghu şat-guņi (șat-sthāna patita) hāni vỊddhi paryāya is a stationary wave motion quoting Alāp Paddhati in support that the phenomenon is similar to the ripples growing and decaying on the surface of the sea. He has mentioned that the aguru-laghu attribute that is responsible for maintaining the individuality of the substance is such that imperceptible rhythmic rise and fall is constantly taking place in its parts in six different steps and these natural rhythms rising and decaying produce utpāda and vyaya (p. 100). In page 233 it is stated that the modification which the six dravyas undergo have been divided into two classes, artha paryāya and vyañjana paryāya. Artha paryāya exists in all the six substances and the latter is confined to jivas and pudgala. The former refers to the intrinsic changes in dravyas and the latter has somewhat fixed duration of existence. For instance, pot is a vyañjana paryāya of matter, similarly men and animals are vyañjana paryāya of soul substance.
10. S. A. Jain, who tranlsated Sarvārthasiddhi into English entitling the book as Reality mentions in a footnote that this wave like process is a common and natural feature of all the substances found in the atom as well as in the mass.
