: 97 : पर्यायमानं तस्य नाशोऽपगमस्तस्मिन् सति । कथंभूतस्य वस्तुनः ? इत्याहख-पर-पर्यायानन्तधर्मकस्य । इदमुक्तं भवति-यस्मिन्नेर समये तद्नारकवस्तु प्रथमसमयनारकत्वेन समुच्छिद्यते तस्मिन्नेव समये द्वितीयसमयनारकत्वेनोत्पद्यते, जीवद्रव्यतया त्ववतिष्ठते । अतो यदि नामाद्धापर्यायमात्रमुच्छिन्नम्, ततःसर्वस्यापि वस्तुनः समुच्छेदे किमायातम् , अनन्तपर्यायात्मकस्य वस्तुन एकपर्यायमात्रोच्छेदे सर्वोच्छेदस्य दूरविरुद्धत्वात् ? इति ॥२३९३॥
D. C. It is not at all proper to accept the entire destruction of an object merely because a particular condition ( say, bhata paryaya or past condition) of timeis over. Every object is possessed of innumerable qualities, say for example, whenever the Nārakas perish as Nārakas of the first condition (paryāya ) of time, they do not perish entirely but they are produced immediately as Nārkas of the second condition of time, and thus continue to stay on as living matter.
It is not proper, therefore, to believe that an object which has innumerable paryāyas or forms at different conditions of time, vanishes entirely as soon as a particular paryāya or condition of time is over. 98 (2393) अह सुत्ताउ त्ति मई सुत्ते नणु सासयं पि निदि8 । वत्थु दव्वहाए असासयं पज्जयहाए ॥९९॥२३९४॥ 99. Aha suttāu tti mai sutte naņu sāsayam pi nidittham |

4. According to Jaina Terminology, the word 'Addha' signifies Time. Acldhāparyāya signifies the paryāya or condition of time. e. g. Varlanıāna paryāya ( Present condition) Bhūta paryāya (Past condition ) anil Bhavisya paryāya (Future condition).
