________________ अजीवाधिकार 2- THE NON-SOUL The opposite of this is 'sthiti' - rest. What is 'upakāra' - assistance? The sūtra refers to assistance in motion and in rest. The medium of motion (dharma) and the medium of rest (adharma) render assistance in form of facilitating motion and rest, respectively. Just as the water facilitates movement of the fish, similarly the medium of motion (dharma) facilitates movement of the souls (īva) and the forms of matter (pudgala) tending to move. Just as the earth gives support to objects like the horse, similarly the medium of rest (adharma) is the common medium of rest for the souls (jīva) and the forms of matter (pudgala) tending to rest.1 Ācārya Umāsvāmī's Tattvārthasūtra: गतिस्थित्युपग्रहौ धर्माधर्मयोरुपकारः ॥५-१७॥ स्वयमेव गमन तथा स्थिति को प्राप्त हुए जीव और पुद्गलों के गमन तथा ठहरने में जो सहायक है सो क्रम से धर्म और अधर्म द्रव्य का उपकार है। The functions of the medium of motion (dharma) and the medium of rest (adharma) are to assist motion and rest, respectively. Ācārya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: गइपरिणयाण धम्मो पुग्गलजीवाण गमणसहयारी । तोयं जह मच्छाणं अच्छंता णेव सो णेई ॥१७॥ गति (गमन में) परिणत जो पुद्गल और जीव हैं, उनके गमन में धर्म-द्रव्य सहकारी है - जैसे मत्स्यों के गमन में जल सहकारी है। और नहीं गमन करते हुए पुद्गल और जीवों को वह धर्म-द्रव्य कदापि गमन नहीं कराता है। 1 - Acārya Umāsvāmi's Tattvārthasūtra - With Explanation in English from Acārya Pujyapāda's Sarvārthasiddhi, sūtra 5-17, p. 195-196. 62
