4 : Navatattva Prakarana
Ajiva (Non-soul) Asīva is not mearly the form of negative of jiva (soul) but it is positive verity standing opposed to Jiva (soul). धम्माऽधम्मागासा, तिय-तिय-भेया तहेव अद्धा य। खंधा देस पोसा, परमाणु अजीव चउदसहा ।।८।। dhammā'ahammāgāsā tiya-tiya bheyā taheva addhā ya khardhā desa paesā paramāņu ajīva caudasahā. [8] धर्माऽधर्माऽकाशा स्त्रिकत्रिकभेदास्तथैवाद्धा च। स्कन्धा देश-प्रदेशाः परमाणवोऽजीवश्चतुर्दशधा ।।८।। Dharmāstikāya (medium of motion), adharamāstikāya (medium of rest) and ākāśāstikāya (space) has three divisions where kāla (time) has only one. Similary, pudgalāstikāya (matter) is devided into skandha (molecules), desa (a part of molecules), pradeśa (a subtle constituent partless, part of molecules) as paramāņu (a subtle part of matter separated from molecules). In this way ajiva (non-soul) has total fourteen divisions.(8) धम्माऽधम्मा पुग्गल, नह कालो पंच हुँति अज्जीवा। चलणसहावो धम्मो, थिरसंठाणो अहम्मो य ।।६।। dhammā'dhammā puggala naha kālo pańca husti ajjīvā cālana sahāvo dhammo thirasamthāno ahammo ya. [9]. धर्माधमौं पुद्गलाः नभः कालः पंच भवन्त्यजीवाः। चलनस्वभावो धर्मः, स्थिरसंस्थानोऽधर्मश्च ।।६।। Dharamāstikāya (medium of motion), adharmāstikāya (medium of rest), pudgala (matter), akāśā (space) and kāla (time) are five fundamental varities of ajīva (non-soul). Dharmāstikāya and adharmāstikāya are the auxilary cause of motion and rest of soul and non-soul respectively. (9) अवगाहो आगासं, पुग्गलजीवाण पुग्गला चऊहा। खंधा देस पएसा, परमाणु चेव नायव्वा ।।१०।।
