सद्दव्वं सच्च गुणो सच्चेव य पज्जओ त्ति वित्थारो। जो खलु तस्स अभावो सो तदभावो अतब्भावो ॥-15॥
सद्रव्यं सच्च गुणः सच्चैव च पर्याय इति विस्तारः । यः खलु तस्याभावः स तदभावोऽतद्भावः -15॥

Similarly, the quality of existence (sattā) of the substance (dravya) comprises the existence (sattā) of the substance (dravya), the existence (sattā) of the quality (guņa) and the existence (sattā) of the mode (paryāya).
