________________ Verse 9 अन्वयार्थ - [तान् तान् सद्भावपर्यायान् ] उन-उन सद्भावपर्यायों को [ यत् ] जो [ द्रवति ] द्रवित होता है- [गच्छदि] प्राप्त होता है, [तत् ] उसे [ द्रव्यं भणन्ति ] (सर्वज्ञ) द्रव्य कहते हैं- [सत्तातः अनन्यभूतं तु] जो कि सत्ता से अनन्यभूत है। That which unifies with and attains modes (paryaya), due to transformations in its nature (svabhava), is called a substance (dravya) by the Omniscient Lord. The substance (dravya) is no different from the existence (satta). EXPLANATORY NOTE That which had undergone transformations in the past, undergoes transformation in the present and shall undergo transformations in the future is a substance (dravya). The substance (dravya) thus attains modes (paryaya) which may be its natural-modes (svabhava paryaya) or unnatural-modes (vibhava paryaya). From the real, transcendental (niscaya) point-of-view, the existence (satta) is same as the substance (dravya). The differences are highlighted only from the points-of-view including designation (samjna), mark (laksana) and purpose (prayojana). Thus, the definition of the existence (satta), given in the previous verse, applies also to the substance (dravya). . .. .
