Vibhāva dravya vyañjana paryāya of matter :
Vibhāva vyañjana paryāya exists only in the molecules animate and inanimate. In the molecules because of existence of interference of waves of one elementary particle with that of the other particle or particles the dravya vyañjana paryāya stationary wave motion is subjected to reinforcement or neutralization and its function is distorted. The elementary particle's ākāra or shape undergoes corresponding modification or change. This is vibhāva dravya vyañjana paryāya of matter substance.
(8) Vibhāva guņa vyañjana paryāya of matter :
In consonance with the effect of interference waves there happens change in the intensity of colour, taste, smell and touches of the elementary particles in the molecule and the collective effect predominates in the molecule. This is the effect of vibhāva guņa vyañjana paryāya of matter.

Freedom from the bondage of karma is the state of emancipation (nirvāṇa) of the soul.
Just like ākāśa (space), jiva (soul) by nature is non-obstructing and accommodating substance. Matter in any form or other substances are not obstructed in their stay or movement in his space points. The soul also meets with no obstruction from any other substance including matter. This is due to one of its special attribute avagāhanatva (nonobstruction or accommodation). With this nature of accommodation the soul is free from hindrance to itself and causing of hindrance to others.
The mundane soul in kārmic bondage is passionate. Passions cause quivering (calana or parispanda) of the soul's space points. The soul's space points undergo wirlwind or wirlpool-type of activity. Through the vortex formed by such activity, the soul sucks in fresh karma molecules passing or existing in his own space points. This
