What is Dravya? In which there are Kriyaa Gun and Gun are called Dravya. Among them Prithvi, Jal, Tej, Vaayu, Aatmaa and Man - these 6 Dravya are of Kriyaa and Gun.
And Aakaash and Kaal and Dishaa - these three are without Kriyaa.

From whatever the objective (Lakshya) is known, is called Lakshan - such as one knows the Roop by eyes, so eyes are and Roop is Lakshya.

Prithvi has Roop, Ras, Gandh and Sparsh. In it Roop, Ras and Sparsh are because of Fire, Water and Air - Gandh is its own characteristic.
