tion. Indriya (the five senses), Bala (the three forces of thought, word and action), Ayu (life) and Anaprana (respiration)-these four are called the four Pranas of Jivas in the past, present and the future, The following verse from Panchastikayasamayasara is parallel to this verse of Dravya-Samgraha :
"पाणेहिं चदुहिं जीवदि जीवस्सदि जो हु जीविदो पुव्वं ।
सो . जीवो पाणा पुण बलमिदियमाउ उस्सासो !!" i. e., "That is Jiva which lives, will live or has lived formerly by four Pranas. The Pranas are Bala (force), Indriya the (senses), Ayu (Life) and Uchchhasa (respiration)."
Thus, from the ordinary point of view (Vyavahara Naya), we regard Jiva to possess a period of life, during which its characteristics are respiration and the employment of the five senses and the three forces of thought, word and action. But from the realistic point of view, Jiva is distinguished dy its own great quality, V. Z., consciousness,
