Souls help themselves with knowledge and perception and help one another as parents and children, teacher and the pupil, employer and the employed and so on.? Space being of infinite extension gives accommodation to all the other substances.8 Medium of motion and medium of rest help souls and matter in their motion and rest respectively.9 Real time particles stand for modification and continuity of all the other substances.10 Matter particles in addition to helping themselves mutually, serve the souls as body, sense organs, nutrition and as objects of comforts, etc. 11
Jainism states that this triple unity Utpāda, Vyaya and Dhrauvya is accomplished in every substance, i.e., in each Jiva (soul), Akāśa (space), Dharma (ether), Adharma (E.M & G. Field), in each Kālāņu (real time particle) and in each Pudgala Paramāņu (elementary particle of matter) every moment by the imperceptible stationary wave motion happening in the parts of the substances similar to the waves of the ocean, with wave cycles repeating every moment.12
There are two kinds of stationary wave motions. Their names are Aguru-Laghu-Shadguņi-hāni-Vịtti-Paryāya or Artha-Paryāya and Vyanianā-Paryāya. The former exists in all the six substances and the latter is confined to Jivas (souls) and Pudgala Paramāņus (elementary particles of matter).
Acarya Pujayapada cites the first, Aguru-Laghu-Shad-Guni-Hāni Vịtti-Paryāya, to explain the accomplishment of Utpāda, Vyaya in the non-moving (Niskriyavān) substances.13
