________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha रहित माध्यस्थ्य-भाव को प्राप्त होता है। और यह सब सहेतुक होता है। (बिना हेतु के उन घटार्थी, मुकुटार्थी तथा सुवर्णार्थी के शोकादि की स्थिति नहीं बनती 1) (When a diadem is produced out of a gold jar -) The one desirous of the gold jar gets to grief on its destruction; the one desirous of the gold diadem gets to happiness on its origination; and the one desirous of gold remains indifferent, as gold remains integral to both - the jar as well as the diadem. This also establishes the fact that different characters of existence (origination, destruction and permanence) are the causes of different responses. While the substance (dravya) never leaves its essential character of existence (satta), it undergoes origination (utpada), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya). Origination (utpada), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya) are simultaneous and interdependent and are not possible without the substance (dravya). Origination (utpada) of the new mode (paryaya) cannot take place without destruction of the old mode, the old mode cannot get destroyed without origination of the new mode, origination and destruction cannot take place in the absence of permanence, and permanence is not possible without origination and destruction. On production of an earring out of a bracelet, there is destruction (vyaya) of the old mode (the bracelet) of gold, origination (utpada) of the new mode (the earring) of gold, and permanence (dhrauvya) of gold (the substance - dravya), with its integral qualities, like yellowness and heavyness. 26
