23. In this manner this Dravya is said to be of six kinds, according to the subdivisions of Jiva and Ajiva. The five, without Kala, should be understood to be Astikayas.
COMMENTARY
Dravya is divided into Jiva and Ajiva. Ajiva, again, is subdivided into Pudgala, Dharma, Adharma, Akasa and Kala. These five Ajivas, with jiva make up the six varieties of Dravya.
Jiva
DRAVYA
Ajiva
Pudgala Dharma Adharma Akasa Kala
Of these six varieties, Jiva, Pudgala, Dharma, Adharma and Akasa are technically known as the five Astikayas. The meaning of the word Astikaya will be understood from verse 24, and the reason why Kala, the sixth variety of Dravya, is not called Asti-kaya, will be explained in Verse 25.
