________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha द्रव्य और गुण सर्वथा भिन्न नहीं हैं - The substance (dravya) and the qualities (guna) are not absolutely distinct - जदि हवदि दव्वमण्णं गुणदो य गुणा य दव्वदो अण्णे / दव्वाणंतियमधवा दव्वाभावं पकुव्वंति // 44 // यदि भवति द्रव्यमन्यद्गुणतश्च गुणाश्च द्रव्यतोऽन्ये / द्रव्यानंत्यमथवा द्रव्याभावं प्रकुर्वन्ति // 44 // अन्वयार्थ - [ यदि ] यदि [ द्रव्यं ] द्रव्य [ गुणतः ] गुणों से [अन्यत् च भवति ] अन्य (भिन्न) हो [गुणाः च] और गुण [ द्रव्यतः अन्ये] द्रव्य से अन्य हो तो [ द्रव्यानंत्यम् ] द्रव्य की अनंतता हो [अथवा ] अथवा [द्रव्याभावं] द्रव्य का अभाव [प्रकुर्वन्ति ] हो।। If the substance (dravya) is distinct from the qualities (guna), and the qualities (guna), too, are distinct from the substance (dravya) then the substance (dravya) would attain either infiniteness (anantata) or non-existence (abhava). EXPLANATORY NOTE The substance (dravya) is not anything different from its qualities (guna). The qualities (guna) exist due to the substance (dravya), and the substance (dravya) exists due to the qualities (guna). The substance (dravya) is the substratum of qualities (guna). The qualities (guna) are the marks (cihna, laksana) of the substance (dravya). The nature of the substance (dravya) is known by the qualities (guna) and, therefore, the substance (dravya) is the aim (laksya) and the qualities (guna) are the marks (laksana). There is distinction as well as nondistinction between the aim (laksya) and the marks (laksana), 98
