प्रवचनसार
This way, the substance (dravya), established in its nature, is ever endowed with origination of either the intrinsic-nature (sadbhāva-nibaddha) or the extraneous-nature (asadbhāvanibaddha), depending on whether it is viewed from the standpoint-of-substance (dravyārthika naya) or from the standpoint-of-mode (paryāyārthika naya).
Explanatory Note: The substance (dravya) is ever endowed with the nature of origination (utpāda). When viewed from the standpoint-of-substance (dravyārthika naya), the focus is on the substance (dravya), not on the mode (paryāya); origination (utpāda) takes place of the same substance (dravya) while the mode (paryāya) changes. This is the sadbhāva-utpāda. When viewed from the standpoint-of-modes (paryāyārthika naya), the focus is on the modes (paryāya), not on the substance (dravya); origination (utpāda) takes place of a new mode (paryāya) of the substance (dravya). This is the asadbhāva-utpada. As an illustration, gold with its eternal qualities like yellowness, smoothness and heavyness gets modes such as the bracelet and the earring. Viewed from the standpoint-of-substance (dravyārthika naya), origination (utpāda) of the same substance (dravya) - gold - takes place in all modes like the bracelet and the earring. There is no origination (utpāda) of a new substance. This is the sadbhāvautpāda of gold. Viewed from the standpoint-of-modes (paryāyārthika naya), the modes (paryāya) like the bracelet and the earring, are sequential and, therefore, it is predicated that there is origination of the bracelet or the earring or the ring. Origination (utpāda) takes place of something that did not exist in the past. This is the asadbhāva-utpāda of gold. In the same way, the substance (dravya), together with its eternal qualities, originates in various modes. When the predication is from the standpoint-of-substance (dravyārthika naya), it is said that the same substance (dravya), not anything new, originates in all new
