Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

Paryāya (पर्याय) refers to one of the 93 alaṃkāras (“figures of speech”) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 arthālaṃkāras (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—The figure paryāya has not been mentioned by Bhāmaha and Udbhaṭa. It is Rudraṭa who deals with this paryāya in his kāvyālaṃkāra (VII/42). Mammaṭa has given a simple definition of paryāya.

Cirañjīva has defined paryāya as—“paryāyaścedanekasya syādekena samanvayaḥ”.—“When many things are connected with one thing it is known as paryāya”. This definition resembles paryāya given by Jayadeva in his Candrāloka (C.L.V/93).

Example of the paryāya-alaṃkāra:—

kapole pāṇḍutvaṃ kimapi jaladhārāṃ nayanayostanau kārśyaṃ dainyaṃ vacasi hṛdi dāvānalaśikhām |
avajñāṃ prāṇeṣu prakṛtiṣu viparyāsamadhunā kimanyadvairāgyaṃ sakalaviṣayeṣvākalayate ||

“Whether the separated woman having a pale yellow colour in the cheek, tears in the eyes, feebleness in the breasts, miserable state in speech, the flame of a forest fire in the heart, disregard for life, contradiction in nature, is going to resort a different type of epathy towards all worldy objects!”

Notes: In this verse so many things like pale yellow colour in the cheek, tears in eyes etc. are connected with or found in the separated women. So it is an example of the figure of speech paryāya.

Considering beings impartially, he has no notion of variety. Furthermore, the Buddha has praised the good dharmas in many ways (aneka-paryāya) and criticized the bad dharmas in many ways. However, faced with good or with bad, his mind shows no increase or decrease: it is only in order to save beings that he makes distinctions. Thus he has no notion of variety. [...]”.

In Jainism

Jain philosophy

Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra Suri

Paryāya (पर्याय) refers to “modification”, as used in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 18, l. 4]—‘Dravya’ means, no doubt, a substance; but, according to Jainism it is not without paryāya (modification), and hence utpāda (origination) and vyaya (dissolution) in addition to dhrauvya (permanence). Same is the case with paryāya; for, it is not without (dravya) and hence dhrauvya over and above utpāda and vyaya. Thus everything that exists is utpāda-vyaya-dhrauvya-yukta. This is why reality is defined in Jainism as substance-cum-mode. This concept of reality may remind a student of biology of the concept of metabolism. For, it affords an exact parallel, since metabolism consists of two opposite processes viz. anabolism and catabolism. [...] A student of philosophy may compare this concept with the dialectic concept of Hegel—the concept which implies two opposite processes of thesis and antithesis both combined by synthesis. [...]

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Atma Dharma: Principles of Jainism

Modification; The manifestation, i.e., functioning part or activity of an attribute is called paryaya (modification).

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra

Paryāya (पर्याय, “mode”) means a specific or momentary state of a substance (dravya), according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 1.26.— For example a man becomes a child in childhood, an adult in adulthood and then old etc. Accordingly, “The range of sensory knowledge (mati) and scriptural knowledge (śruta) extends to all the six substances but not in all their modes (paryāya)”.

What is meant by mode (paryāya)? That which acquires each attributes of the substance from all angles is called mode (paryāya). How many modes are there of the six substance (dravya) kinds? Each substance type has infinite modes in the past present and future.

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 5: The category of the non-living

Paryāya (पर्याय, “mode”) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 5.38.—That which has qualities (guṇa) and modes (paryāya) is a substance (dravya). What is meant by mode (paryāya)? Modification or special activity of attributes and substances are called modes. Modes are different and separate from each other. What is another characteristic of modes? The state which remains same in a substance always is called attribute and the state which keep on changing continually and helps it to create its identity is called mode.

Paryāya (पर्याय) or Nānāparyāya refers to the “(manifold) state”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he speaks about the manifold state (nānāparyāyam) of the cycle of rebirth (saṃsārasya)]—Alas! Having joined with the lowest and highest modes [of existence] (adhamottama-paryāya) in the period of [a life] time, this cycle of rebirth deceives the multitude of sentient beings. A god becomes [filled] with lamenting, a dog ascends to heaven, a Brāhman might become discernible in substance [as a dog] or an insect or even a low outcaste”.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
