137 gauiyi. Dravya means substance and Ansh is a part. The other aspect is that which is constantly evolving and extinguishing in the form of modifications is known as Paryayansh पर्यायांश.
The Dravyansh being Nitya fire i.e. constant is the same since times immortal and will remain so till infinite time. It never undergoes any. change, it neither increases nor decreases. It remains as it is just the same without change. This Dravyansh is eternally steadfast, unsplittable, single, pure inherent capacity of a substance. (frhirit, ra, 444fuften, 966, 16410).
We will see this in following tabular form

From the above table you would realise that the Dravyansh in any substance is Samanya, Abhed, Nitya and Ek. It remains same or as it is at all the times, it is complete in itself. It does not need any addition or change to become complete but it is always complete. The Paryayansh of any substance is Vishesh, Bhed, Anitya, and Anek and this changes at each Samay.
From the point of view of Dravyansh all the Jeev substances are similar and from the point of view of Paryayansh there are many different types. . For example, those who are in embodied form and having Karmas are Sansari Hard and those which are totally free from body and Karma
