________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha द्रव्य के लक्षण - The marks (laksana) of the substance (dravya) - दव्वं सल्लक्खणयं उप्पादव्वयधुवत्तसंजुत्तं / गुणपज्जयासयं वा जं तं भण्णंति सव्वण्हू // 10 // गुणपर्यायाश्रयं वा यत्तद् भणन्ति सर्वज्ञाः // 10 // अन्वयार्थ - [यत् ] जो [ सल्लक्षणकम् ] 'सत्' लक्षण वाला है, [उत्पादव्ययध्रुवत्वसंयुक्तम् ] जो उत्पाद-व्यय-ध्रौव्य संयुक्त है [ वा] अथवा [गुणपर्यायाश्रयम् ] जो गुण-पर्यायों को आश्रय (आधार) है, [ तद् ] उसे [ सर्वज्ञाः] सर्वज्ञ [ द्रव्यं ] द्रव्य [भणन्ति ] कहते हैं। That which has existence (satta, sat, sattva) as its mark (laksana), is with origination (utpada), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya), or in which the qualities (guna) and the modes (paryaya) exist, has been called a substance (dravya) by the Omniscient Lord (sarvajna). EXPLANATORY NOTE From the point-of-view of the substance-dravyarthika naya - there is no difference between the existence (satta) and the substance (dravya). Due to the internal and external causes, each instant, the substance attains a new state of existence. This is origination (utpada). For instance, the origination (utpada) takes place of the pitcher from the clay. Similarly, the loss of the former state of existence is destruction 22
