gold, the substance (dravaya). Gold, the substance (dravya), is the doer (kartā), the bestower (sādhana) and the substratum (ādhāra) of all three: origination (utpāda) of the bracelet, destruction (vyaya) of the earring and permanence (dhrauvya) of yellowness etc. There is no existence of origination (utpāda), destruction (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya) without the existence of the substance (dravya ). As a corollary, without the existence of origination (utpāda), destruction (vyaya ) and permanence (dhrauvya), there is no existence of the substance (dravya). To summarize, the substance (dravya), the qualities (guna) and the modes (paryāya) have the same existence; all three comprise the nature of the substance (dravya). Each substance (dravya) has its own qualities (guna) and own modes (paryāya); it never mingles with other substances. This explains the meaning of 'existence in own nature' –svarūpāstitva-of the substance (dravya).
