COMMENTARY The title of this work ‘Dravya-Samgraha' being interpreted liter ally means “A compendium of Drvyas." According to the Jaina philosophy the component factor of the universe is Dravya (substance), which is subdivided into Jiva ( living and Ajiva (non-living ) substances. Everything in this universe is either Jiva or Ajiva or a resultant of these. The auther of Dravya-Sangraha has fully described Dravya with its classes and sub-classes in verses 1-38 of this work. Jiva, the first variety of Dravya, is defined in worse and a detailed explanation of this definition is given in verses 3-14 Ajiva the second variety of Dravya, is next described with its subdivitions in verses 15-27.
