Summary:

Sutra 7

We can understand Samyag Darshan, Jeev Dravya or any objects perfectly and completely by the following 6 concepts, together:

  • Nirdesh - the object (vastu) we want to know, its description (Swaroop)
  • Swamitva - who owns it is Swamitva
  • Sadhan - are the reasons an object (vastu) is created.
  • Adhikaran - the base of an object is Adhikaran.
  • Sthithi - is duration i.e. time period
  • Vidhan is about types (categories) of the objects

Basically, we know anything by Praman and Naya but these 6 concepts helps us understand the object completely and perfectly. For example, if we want to know Samyag Darshan:

  • Nirdesh – tatvartha shrdhan
  • Swamitva – jeev
  • Sadhan – can be internal or external. Internal can be kshayopsham (wipeout, not in effect) of darshan mohniya and external could be jin bimb darshan etc.
  • Adhikaran – can also be internal and external. Internal is soul an external is tras naadi because jeev do not exist outside of tras naadi.
  • Sthithi –is antermoorart to Saadianant (with start w/o an end)
  • Vidhan - one categorization is nisarga and adhogamya and other one is oopshamik, kshyaoopshamik and kshayik.

Sutra 8

We can understand Jeev Dravya the following 8 concepts, together:

  • Sat - is existence
  • Sankhya – count of types is Sankhya
  • Kshetra – area presently in
  • Sparshan – is area in all the three kaals
  • Kal - time
  • Antar - is time between obtaining from state B to A, when the object has originally gone from A to B
  • Bhav - is conditions
  • Alpbahutach – is comparison i. e. less or more.
