only. All the intermediary statements are covered both by Paryāyāstika as well as Dravyāstika. For in every such intermediary statement there is some sort of generalization, as well as some sort of particularization. That very thing that is viewed by Dravyāstika from universal point of view, is viewed by Paryāyāstika from the viewpoint of particularization. Only that final statement where we can not even dream of universal viewpoint, is ear-marked so to say for Paryāyāstika. 8
The author in the following verse now sums up the discussion of the overlapping of the two principal Nayas :
दव्वट्ठिो त्ति तम्हा नत्थि णो णियम सुद्धजाईओ। ण य पज्जवढिओ णाम कोइ भयणाय उ विसेसा ॥९॥
This being the case, it is impossible to find a Dravyāstika, in its pure form-that is to say absolutely unmixed with Paryāyāstika. Similarly it is equally impossible to find a Paryāyāstika in its pure form that is to say totally unmixed with a Dravyāstika. Hence assigning a particular statement to a particular Naya depends upon the volition of the speaker.
Hitherto there has been a clear statement of two distinct Nayas-Dravyāstika and Paryāyāstika. Even there differ.
