________________
Pravacanasāra
In this world, there is no existence of either the quality (guņa) or the mode (paryāya) without the substance (dravya). And, the substance (dravya) has, as its own-nature (svabhāva), the attribute of existence (sattā). Therefore, the substance (dravya) is of the nature of existence (sattā).
Explanatory Note: No quality (guņa) can exist without the underlying substance (dravya). Similarly, no mode (paryāya) can exist without the underlying substance (dravya). Qualities (guņa) and modes (paryāya) exist in the underlying substance (dravya). Qualities (guņa) and modes (paryāya) are not distinct from the substance (dravya). As the quality of yellowness and the mode of earring have no distinction from the underlying substance (gold), in the same way, qualities (guņa) and modes (paryāya) have no distinction from the substance (dravya). The nature of existence (sattā) has no distinction from the substance (dravya); the substance (dravya) is of the nature of existence (sattā).

एवंविधं स्वभावे द्रव्यं द्रव्यार्थपर्यायार्थाभ्याम् । सदसद्भावनिबद्ध प्रादुर्भावं सदा लभते ॥2-19॥
