HIARIEF - [it: frict: ] for foran À [ vita:] a [a] BTT [37511a: ] 345a [goi] ço4[faşiidi hafa ] GHI GIA [a] a fare (लक्षण) [ तद्भावविशिष्टाः ] द्रव्यों के स्वरूप की विशेषता लिये हुए [ मूर्तामूर्ता गुणाः ] मूर्तीक और अमूर्तीक गुण [ ज्ञेयाः] जानने चाहिये। The marks (cihna, lakṣaṇa) are specific to the substances (dravya) – the soul (jīva) and the non-soul (ajīva) – and the substances are known through these marks. These marks are the corporeal (mūrtīka) and the non-corporeal (amūrtīka) qualities (guņa) of the substances (dravya).
Explanatory Note: The substance (dravya) is the substratum of qualities (guna). The qualities (guna) are the marks (cihna, lakṣaṇa) of the substance (dravya). The nature of the substance (dravya) is known by the qualities (guņa) and, therefore, the substance (dravya) is the aim (laksya) and the qualities (guņa) are the marks (laksaņa). There is distinction as well as non-distinction between the aim (laksya) and the marks (laksaņa), depending on the standpoint. There is distinction between the aim (laksya) and the marks (laksaņa) if these are viewed from the point of view of the possessor-of-quality (guṇī) and the quality (guņa). From this point of view, the possessor-of-quality (guṇī) is not the quality (guņa) and the quality (guņa) is not the possessor-of-quality (guṇī). If these are viewed from the point of view of the nature o substance (dravya), there is no distinction between the aim (laksya) and the marks (lakşaņa); both exist in the same spacepoints. The marks (laksaņa) are specific to the substances (dravya); the corporeal (mūrtika) substance has corporeal (mūrtīka) qualities (guņa) and the non-corporeal (amūrtīka) substance has non-corporeal (amūrtīka) qualities (guņa). Only the physical matter (pudgala) is corporeal (mūrtīka) and the remaining five substances (dravya)-the soul (jīva), the medium of motion (dharma), the medium of rest (adharma), the space (ākāśa), and the time (kāla)- are non-corporeal (amūrtīka).
