There are two types. ||20||
Jiva, Ajiva, Asrava, Bandha, Samvara, Nirjara and Moksha are the seven Tattvas; one should have faith in them with their respective characteristics. ||21||
The characteristic of Jiva is its use, and that use is of eight types. The eight types of use are Mati, Shruta and Avadhi - these three, Samyakgyan and Mithyagyan - both forms. ||22||
Iccha, Dvesha, Prayatna, Sukha and Duhkha are all Chidatmika. These are the characteristics of Jiva, because it is through these that the Jiva, in its form of Chaitanya, is recognized. ||23||
The Jiva is not said to be merely the form of the Earth and other elements; because that is the state of its body. The body has Anekanta with Chaitanya, meaning the body remains the same, but the Chaitanya departs. ||24||
In flour, yeast (seed of liquor) and water, etc., the element of power that produces intoxication is separate, but in the parts of the body, the power of Chaitanya is not separate. Meaning - even when the causes of liquor, such as flour, etc., are separated, some element of intoxicating power remains in them. Similarly, when the parts of the body are separated, no element of Chaitanya power remains in them. This proves that Chaitanya is not the property of the parts of the body, but is a separate substance from them. ||25||
Those who believe in the origin or manifestation of Chaitanya from the four elements, Earth, etc., why don't they believe in the origin or manifestation of oil from sand, etc.? Meaning - just as oil cannot originate or manifest from sand, etc., similarly, Chaitanya cannot originate or manifest from the four elements, Earth, etc. ||26||
This Jiva is eternal in this world, it comes here from another state due to its own karma, and due to its karma, it goes to another state. ||27||
As much as it is visible to the naked eye, that much is the Jiva - therefore, its progeny does not continue in the future, etc., such statements are contradictory statements of those who harm themselves and others. ||28||
To say that the Atma is the Sanvid (knowledge) that arises moment by moment is also not correct, because if Sanvid is considered momentary, then the intellect that connects the past and future will be lost, and with its loss, the transactions of giving and taking, and the actions of the doer, etc., will be lost. ||29||
Therefore, it is proven that this Jiva is itself a substance, a knower, a seer, a doer, an enjoyer, a destroyer of karma, a producer-consumer, always endowed with qualities, with countless regions, with contraction and expansion. ||30||
