Explanation:

These are jiva, ajivaa, astikaya, bandha, samvara, nirjana, and moksa.Substances like body which exist and envelope (like a cover) are astïkaya.Anastikayas like ‘time’ have no body at all. The substance is the basis of attributes (qualities).The attributes that we find in a substance are known as dharmas. The Jainas believe that things or substance have attributes.These attributes also change with the change of kala (time). From their point of view, the attributes of a substance are essential, and eternal or unchangeable.Without essential attributes, a thing cannot exist. So, they are always present in everything.For example, consciousness (chetana) is the essence of the soul; desire, happiness and sorrow are its changeable attributes.
