Elaboration-Anaupanidhiki dravya-anupurvi (disorderly physical sequence) is of two types. One that proceeds according to the coordinated and particularized viewpoints (Naigam-vyavahar naya sammat) and the other according to the generalized viewpoint (Samgrahanaya sammat). There is a mention of seven nayas (viewpoints) in Jain philosophy—(1) Naigama naya (coordinated viewpoint), (2) Samgraha naya (generalized viewpoint), (3) Vyavahara naya (particularized viewpoint), (4) Rijusutra naya (precisionistic viewpoint or that related to specific point or period of time), (5) Shabda naya (verbal viewpoint or that related to language and grammar), (6) Samabhirudha naya (conventional viewpoint or that related to conventional meaning and ignoring etymological meaning), (7) Evambhuta naya (etymological viewpoint or that related to words used in original derivative sense and significance). When we take up common constituents of a substance and want to give just a generalized description then that statement is in context of dravyarthik naya (existent material aspect). When only a specific part of a substance is to be precisely described the statement is in context of paryayarthik naya (transformational aspects). All the said seven nayas (viewpoints) are included in these two. Naigama naya (coordinated viewpoint), Samgraha naya (generalized viewpoint), and Vyavahara naya (particularized viewpoint) are included in dravyarthik naya (existent material aspect). The remaining four are included in paryayarthik naya (transformational aspects) because they deal only with components.
Dravyarthik naya (existent material aspect) is also of two kinds-vishuddha (pure) and avishuddha (impure). Naigam and vyavahar naya (coordinated and particularized viewpoints) both describe things in great details therefore they are called impure or imprecise viewpoints. Samgrahanaya (generalized viewpoint) describes things observing uniformity in infinite things therefore it is called pure or precise viewpoint. It does not consider preceding and following modalities in substances. Thus there are two types of anaupanidhiki dravya-anupurvi (disorderly physical sequence). अनुयोगद्वार सूत्र
