Interrelation of Dravya, Guņa and Paryāya
The Jainas believe that Dravya is endowed with guna and parvāya. The inherent qualities in substance and their traikālika modes are infinite39 in number. A substance and its inherent qualities are permanent owing to the cause of its non-origination and nondestruction40. On the other hand, all modes because of their origination and destruction at every moment are individually non-permanent". But they are also beginningless and permanent or eternal from the point of view of series (pravāha) of infinite modes.
The series of traikālika modes also i.e. modes of the past, present and future times, takes place due to one causative capacity (kāraṇabhūtasakti) inherent in a substance. The series of infinite modes caused by infinite capacity in a substance is moving together (i.e. taking place together).

There take place in soul substance and matter substance various infinite modes like modes
