Kālavāda (कालवाद) refers to the “doctrine about time”.—The Śāstravārtāsamuccaya by Haribhadra Sūri’s is not a compendium of philosophical systems (darśana) but a comprehensive account (samuccaya) of doctrinal (śāstra) expositions (vārtā/vārttā) or simply doctrines (vāda). The Śāstravārtāsamuccaya (also, Śāstravārttāsamuccaya) is subdivided into stabakas, chapters or sections, for example: Kālavāda, Svabhāvavāda, Niyativāda and Karmavāda—on the doctrines about the leading principle in the world: time, essence, faith or karma.
