2- THE NON-SOUL
अजीवाधिकार पुद्गल की स्वभाव-पर्याय और विभाव-पर्याय का वर्णन - The natural and unnatural modes of the matter -
अण्णणिरावेक्खो जो परिणामो सो सहावपज्जाओ । खंधसरूवेण पुणो परिणामो सो विहावपज्जाओ ॥२८॥
जो अन्य-निरपेक्ष (अन्य की अपेक्षा रहित) परिणाम है वह स्वभाव-पर्याय है और जो स्कन्धरूप परिणाम है वह विभाव-पर्याय है। भावार्थ - पुद्गल द्रव्य का परमाणुरूप जो परिणमन है वह अन्य परमाणुओं से निरक्षेप होने के कारण स्वभाव-पर्याय है तथा स्कन्धरूप जो परिणमन है वह अन्य परमाणुओं से सापेक्ष होने के कारण विभाव-पर्याय है।
The modification (pariņāma) of the matter (pudgala) that is independent of the other matter is its natural-mode (svabhāva-paryāya). The modification (pariņāma) of the matter (pudgala) in form of molecule (skandha), that is dependent on the other matter, is its unnatural-mode (vibhāva-paryāya).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The atom (paramāņu) is the natural-mode (svabhāva-paryāya) of the matter (pudgala). In this natural-mode (svabhāva-paryāya), the matter (pudgala) is in its pure-mode (suddha-paryāya). In this state, the matter (pudgala) is said to be in form of its primary modification - 'paramapārināmikabhāva'. It undergoes six steps of infinitesimal changes of rhythmic rise and fall (increase and decrease), called 'satgunahānivrddhi'. It is utterly minuscule - atisuksma. It is the basic mode of the substance of matter and, therefore, called 'arthaparyāyātmaka'. In this mode the matter (pudgala) is not dependent on other substances. The molecule (skandha) is also the mode (paryāya) of the matter
