35. kālaḥ samayakṣetravarti.
samayakṣetram-manuṣyalokaḥ. tatraiva suryacandrapravartito vyāvahārikaḥ kālo vidyate, naiścayikas tu pratidravyam vartate, tena tasya sarvavyāpitvam.
(Aph.) Time exists (only) in the samaya-kṣetra (region of time). (XXXV)
(Gloss) The region of time stands for the world inhabited by human beings. It is only there that the relative time caused by (the movement of) the sun and the moon exists. The absolute time, however, exists in each and every substance, and as such it is all-pervading. ३६. सहभावी घर्मो गुणः ।
"एगदव्वस्सिना गुणा" इत्यागमवचनाद् गुणो गुणिनमाश्रित्यैव अवतिष्ठते, इति स द्रव्यसहभाव्येव ।
36. sahabhāvī dharmo guṇaḥ.
"egadavvassia guņā" ityāgamavacanãd guņo guņinam āśrityaiva avatiṣṭhate, iti sa dravyasahabhāvy eva.
(Aph) The concomitant characteristic is called guna (quality). (XXXVI)
(Gloss) From the statement in the scriptures 'Qualities rest on the substance', it follows that a quality can subsist only by depending upon its locus (gunin) and, therefore, it is concomitant with the substance.
३७. सामान्यो विशेषश्च ।
द्रव्येषु समानतया परिणतः सामान्यः । व्यक्तिभेदेन परिणतो विशेषः ।
37. sāmānyo višeṣaś ca.
dravyeṣu samanataya pariṇataḥ sāmānyaḥ, vyaktibhedena pariņato višeṣaḥ.
(Aph.) It (viz. quality) is (of two kinds viz.) generic and specific. (XXXVII)
(Gloss) That which evolves itself as a singular characteristic in a number of substances is (a) generic (quality). What is evolved as a different attribute in each different individual is called (b) specific (quality).
