V. Epilogue on Sources 1. Bhgavana Kundakunda mentions aguru-laghu in his Pañcāstikāya, gathās 31 and 84.
2. Acarya Nemicandra mentions artha-paryāya and vyañjana-paryāya in Jivakānda, gāthā 581.
3. Acarya Amrtacandra while commenting on Pañcāstikaya, gāthas 31 and 84 has confirmed the view of Acarya Pujyapada that the aguru-laghu sat-sthāna-patita hāni vặddhi paryāya accomplishes utpāda and vyaya. He accounts this paryāya for svarūpa pratişthatva also which I presume as prameyatva (knowability). That this paryāya stands for aguru-laghu guna or aguru-laghutva (individuality) is accepted by both the Acaryas.
4. Acarya Amrtacandra in his commentary on Pravacana Sāra, gātha 93, expresses that modification happens both in mode of the substance (dravya) and its attributes (gunas). As such the paryāya is twofold: dravya paryāya and guna paryāya. He distinguishes guna paryāya as svabhāva and vibhāva and ascribes aguru-laghu șat-guņi hāni-vỊddhi paryāya as svabhāva-guna paryāya. He divides dravya paryāya as samāna jātiya and asamāna jātiya and treats both as vibhāva. He has not described or given the name for vibhāva guna paryāya and svabhāva dravya paryāya.
5. Acarya Padmaprabha Maladhari Deva mentions in his commentary on Niyama Sāra, gātha 14 that the aguru-laghu sat guņī hāni yrddhi paryāya is common to all the six substances. It is svabhāva and it is artha paryāya. Aśuddha paryāya is vyañjana paryāya. He has not described vibhāva guņa paryāya and svabhāva dravya paryāya or svabhāva vyañjana paryāya. For further details he suggests reference to other works.
6. Acarya Jayasena deals somewhat elaborately in his commentary on Pañcâstikāya, gāthā 16. Like Acarya Amrtacandra he states the two-fold division : guna paryāya and dravya paryāya. Guņa paryāya is of two kinds : svabhāva and vibhāva. Colour, taste, etc. of pudgala skanda (molecule) and mati, śruta and avadhi jñāna are vibhāva guņa paryāya. Svabhāva guna paryāya is aguru-laghu sal-guņi hāni vặddhi paryāya. Dravya paryāya is also of two kinds : samāna jatiya and asamāna jātiya and both are vibhāva. Vibhāva paryāya happens in jivas and pudgala only. Here also svabhāva dravya paryāya finds no place. He writes that there is another way of describing these two paryāyas. They are artha paryāya and vyañjana paryaya. Artha paryāya is subtle (sukṣma) and vyañjana paryāya is gross. Vyañjana paryāya is vibhāva
