consciousness (cetanā) that manifests in form of cognition (upayoga). Starting from the physical matter (pudgala), the other substances (dravya) are inanimate (acetana); these comprise the non-soul (ajīva) substances (dravya).
The substances (dravya) are classified into two, the soul (jīva) and the non-soul (ajīva). The soul-substance (jīvadravya) is of one kind. The non-soul substances (ajīvadravya) are of five kinds: 1) the physical matter (pudgala), 2) the medium of motion (dharma), 3) the medium of rest (adharma), 4) the space (ākāśa), and 5) the time (kāla). Consciousness (cetanā) and cognition (upayoga) are the distinctive marks (lakṣaṇa) of the soul (jīva). That which, by its very nature, is ever brilliant, eternal, adorable, the sum total of the soul, and knowledge as such, is consciousness (cetanā). Consciousness (cetanā) manifests in form of cognition (upayoga). Through cognition (upayoga) the soul (jīva) engages itself in the knowledge (jñāna) and perception (darśana) of the objects-of-knowledge (jñeya). Thus, cognition (upayoga) is in form of knowledge-cognition (jñānopayoga) and perception-cognition (darśanopayoga).1
