________________ 37. THE PRECEPTS ON NON-ABSOLUTISM (660) Without whom, even the worldly affairs can not be carried out, I bow to that Anekantavāda (non-absolutism), the only preceptor of the world. (661) The substance is the abode of attributes and the same are inhered by the substance. The distinctive characteristic of mode is that it depends on both. (662) There is no substance without the modes, nor are the modes without substance. The characteristics of substance are origination, permanence and destruction. (663) There is no origination without destruction, no destruction without origination, while neither origination nor destruction is possible without a permanent substance, (664) The origination, permanence and destruction belong to the modes (and not to the substance), but since modes are definitely of the form of a substance, everything whatsoever is the form of a substance.
