Letter 15
101 Here one more thing is to be explained. Since the Siddhas do not have physical bodies, many people wrongly think that their shape may be hollow. They are not a non existing entity like zero. And because of that wrong belief in earlier days there used to be Siddhas idols made in metals in hollow human form. But Siddha Jeevas have solid three dimensional shape or form ( 99 SGHT ). Atma is called Vidnyanghan ( fagina ) because of its three dimensional existence.
There is a new modification of the attribute of Pradeshatva at every samay. This special activity of the Pradeshatva attribute is called Vyanjan Paryay ( ætu putu). In each substance there are infinite attributes. And all these attributes are having modifications. But only the activity of Pradeshatva attribute is considered separate and is called Vyanjan Paryay and all the other modifications of all the other infinite attributes are called Artha Paryay aperuetu.
This is an interesting subject. Let us see how it is so. There are two divsions of each Artha Paryay and Vyanjan Paryay respectively. They are Swabhava स्वभाव and Vibhava विमाव Paryay पर्याय.

Vyanjan Paryay
Artha Paryay
Swabhava Vibhava Swabhava Artha Vibhava Vyanjan Paryay Vyanjan Paryay Paryay Artha Paryay
(1) Swabhava Vyanjan Paryay - That shape of a substance which is independent of or without any relation with the instrumental cause is called Swabhava Vyanjan Paryay e.g. (1) Shape of Siddha state of Jeev, (2) Shape of the Paramanu of Pudgal.
(2) Vibhava Vyanjan Paryay – That shape of the substance which exists in corelation with the instrumental cause is called Vibhava Vyanjan Paryay.
e.g. The various shapes of Jeevas in corelation with the body while in the embodied form like human or animal shape. (2) The shape of a Pudgal Skandha.
(3) Swabhava Artha Paryay - That Artha Paryay which occurs without any instrumental cause. The state of all the other attributes except the attribute of Pradeshatva is known as Swabhava Artha Paryay e.g. Omniscience modification of Jee or modifications of Pudgal Paramanu. Also paryayas of Agurulaghutva Guna.
