________________ 5 2 Vyaya व्यय–तथा पूर्वभाषषिगमोठयुयः व्ययः Tatha purvabhava vigamo vyayah-The disappearance of the previous condition is called Vyaya व्यय. 3 Dhrauvya ध्रौध्य—ध्रुवे स्थैर्यकर्मणोध्रुवतीति ध्रुत्रः Dhruvé sthairya karmano rdhruvatiti dhruvh-That which remains stable by its possessing the property of becoming firm is called Dhrauvya. Note that Drvya 54 substance is not merely substance but also its Paryaya qafa change in form; transformation and hence Utpad 3 and Vyaya sa in addition to Dhrauvya ध्रौव्य; moreover dravya द्रव्य is not simply Paryáya पर्याय but is also Dravya 5 and therefore, Dhrauvya is in addition to Utpada उत्पाद and Vyaya व्यय. Thus Sat everything that exists is Dravya paryâyǎtmaka द्रव्यपर्यायात्मक and Utapada vyaya dhrauvya yuktatah उत्पाद sag. Everything that exists, exsists either as a substance or its transformed state, and is governed by 1 Production Perishability and 3 Stability. 2 Thus, gold is Dravya 7, a substance. When an ornament is made from it, say a bracelet, it is produced as a bracelet and it will be known as a bracelet. When that bracelet is melted at the time of preparing another ornament, the form that it assumed at the time of preparing a bracelet is now destroyed and when a new ornament, say a chain or another ornament is prepared, it is now produced as a chain or another ornament. At the time of preparing both the ornaments, gold is the original substance and it remains stable as gold, Here gold is a Dravya 5 a substance; and the preparation of various ornaments from gold, is its Paryaya qafa change in form. While preparing ornaments, its previous form is destroyed and it assumes a new form, and yet gold remains stable as an original substance. Both these characteristic attributes exist together. Dravya is the original substance and Guna go attribute
