TEXTS : METAPHYSICS V
18. धर्माधर्मान्तरिक्षाणां द्रव्यमे कत्व मिप्यते। काल पुद्गल जीवानामनेकद्र व्यता मता ॥
Tattvärtha-sūra, by Amrita-chandra Sūri, 17. Dharmu, adharma, and ākāśa are each a single ilrarya, whereas time, matter, and souls are held to be innumerable draryas.
1. ASTIKĀTAS (Substances) 19. ऐवं छब्यमिदं जीवाजोवप्पभेददोदव्वं । उत्तं काल विजुत्तं णादवा पंच अत्यि काया दु ॥
Dray(l-samgraha, 23. These are six kinds, but the principal division is into two categories (draryas), soul (jira) and non-soul (ajiva). These, excepting time (kala), know to be the
five astikāyas. 20. संति जदो तेणेदे अस्थि त्ति भणं ति जिणवरा जम्हा । काया इव बहुदेसा तम्हा काया य अत्थिकाया य ॥
Ibid. 21. Since these things exist (i.e. have sattā), the Best of Jinas (or Tīrthaikaras) call them asti; and since, like bodies, they have many spatial units (pradeśas),
therefore they are called kāya and astikāya. 21. जीवा पुग्गलकाया पायासं अत्यिकाइया सेसा । अमया अस्थित्तमया कारणभदा हि लोगस्स ॥
Panchāstikāya, 22. Soul (jiva), matter (pudgala) and bodies, space (akāśa), and the other [two] astikāyas (alarma and adharma, the principles of motion and stationariness) are uncreated, possessed of the quality of existence, and the causes (or condition) of the universe.
