(Aph.) The dravya stands for the cause (substratum) of a past or future mode, or absence of attention. (XLVI)
(Gloss) For instance, a dravya dean is he who enjoyed the status of a dean in the past or shall enjoy such status in future.
Dravya activity is that which is a state of absence of attentive exertion. Sometimes (this nikṣepa is used to denote) also a secondary status. For instance (the monk) Angārmardaka is a dravya preceptor on account of lacking in the qualities of a preceptor. This niksepa has been explained as of two kinds in the scripturel : (i) (with reference to a person) with scripture, and (ii) without scripture. (The example of) with scripture : a person who although conversant with the meaning of the entities like the soul etc. is not mindful about them. The category 'without scripture' is threefold-(i) body of the knower, (ii) would be knower, and (iii) other than the two. 4 86. fazfata faraftorat #14: 1
अयमपि आगम-नोआगमभेदाद् द्विधा-तत्र उपाध्यायार्थज्ञस्तदनुभवपरिणतश्च आगमतो भावोपाध्यायः । उपाध्यायार्थज्ञः अध्यापनक्रियाप्रवृत्तश्च नोआगमतो भावोपाध्यायः।
एष नामादित्रयं द्रव्यार्थिकनयस्य विषयः, भावश्च पर्यायार्थिकस्य । 47. vivaksitakriyāpariņato bhāvaḥ.
ayam api āgama-noāgamabhedād dvidhā-tatra upādhyāyārthajñas tadanubhavaparipataś ca āgamato bhāvopādhyāyah. (upādhyāyārthajñaḥ adhyāpanakriyāpravsttaś ca noāgamato bhāvopādhyāyaḥ. eșu nāmāditrayam dravyārthikanayasya vișayaḥ, bhāvaś ca paryāyārthikasya.
(Aph.) The bhāva (nikṣepa) stands for the actualized state of the intended activity. (XLVII)
1 This has reference to the Anuyogadvāra Sutra. 2 The scripture means knowledge; 'with scripture' means depending on knowledge. 3 This means absence of the scripture. The expression 'no' (in the word 'No-Agama
tah', without scripture) stands for the absolute absence or partial absence of the scripture. There is absolute absence in the body of the knower 'at the moment or his would-be body. There is however only partial absence in the activity of the person unmindful of the knowledge. There is always a partial absence of know
ledge in activity. 4 The substance where the characteristics of the body of the knower or his would be
body do not apply, illustrates the category of 'other than those bodies'.
