five entities For example gold, house or garden jointly belonging to five brothers Here the Pradeshas of five different entities are different Therefore only based on the number of entities and its attributes it can be said that Pradesh is of five kinds
(4) Rijusutra naya
Deviating from Vyavahar naya (particularized viewpoint), Rijusutra naya (precisionistic viewpoint or that related to specific point or period of time) maintains that if five kinds of Pradeshas are accepted there will be twenty five types, five each for five entities Therefore, it would be proper to say that Pradesh has a scope of or is open to five alternatives including that of Dharmastikaya This way the five kinds are acceptable
(5) Shabda naya
Objecting to the aforesaid statement, Shabda naya (verbal viewpoint or that related to language and grammar) states that if alternatives are accepted a Pradesh of Dharmastikaya could become that of Adharmastikaya For example a person becomes a servant of a king at one time and at the other the same person may become a servant of the minister. In absence of proper ruling the same could happen to Pradesh Therefore, in order to avoid such ambiguity it is proper to accept that only a Pradesh in the form of Dharma is Dharmastikaya-pradesh The same holds good for Adharma and Akash The Jivastikaya and Skandhastıkaya are infinite in number As a Pradesh of a juva (soul) is inseparable from that particular jiva (soul) it is named No-juva Same is true for Skandha Here the prefix 'No' indicates a section or a part. A Pradesh of one jiva (soul) is not common to all juvas (souls), thus it is only a part of the entity juva (soul) taken as a generic term or an aggregate of all jivas (souls)
(6) Samabhirudha naya
The word Dharma-pradesh is a compound word that could be made two ways. Dependent determinative compound and descriptive determinative compound The declension of the first is Dharmapradeshah (pradesh from dharma), just like Vane-hasti (elephant from Jungle) and Tirthe-kakah (crow from pilgrimage center) It is according to the seventh case ending called Tatpurush Samas and is not applicable here. If we apply the first declension here it means-Dharmashchasau
