Ajīva refers to non-living substances in Jainism. These include matter (pudgala), space (ākāśa), motion (dharma), and rest (adharma), as well as time (kāla). These are categorized as the passive elements in contrast to Jīva, the living soul. Step 2: Analyzing the options.
- (A) Matter (pudgala): Correct. Matter is one of the categories in Ajīva.
- (B) Space (ākāśa): Correct. Space is also included in Ajīva.
- (C) Motion (dharma): Correct. Motion is part of Ajīva in Jainism.
- (D) Cause (hetu): Incorrect. Cause is not specifically listed as part of Ajīva; it is more related to the effects and causes in Jain philosophy but not a category of Ajīva. Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answers are (A), (B), and (C) because these are the categories included in Ajīva according to Jainism.
