Ākāśa_(Jainism)
Ākāśa is space in the Jain conception of the cosmos. It is one of the six dravyas (substances) and it accommodates[1] the other five, namely sentient beings or souls (jīva), non-sentient substance or matter (pudgala), principle of motion (dharma), the principle of rest (adharma) and time (kāla)

Ākāśa provides the space for other substances.[2] It does not obstruct. There are two types: Lokakasha and Alokakasha. Alokakasha is beyond the Lokakasha and is empty; it has no other substance.[3][4]
