CHAPTER III KARTĀ AND KARMA–THE DOER AND THE DEED
Dealing with the remaining seven padārthas such as (punya, pāpa, etc.) virtue, vice, etc., the author wants to emphasise once again that these seven padārthas are but the resultant secondary padārthas of the interaction of the two primary padārthas, jīva and asīva, which are dealt with already. These two reappear again on the stage in different forms as agent and his action, Karta and Karma.
__ जाव ण वेदि विसेसंतरं तु आदासवाण दोहुणंपि ।

COMMENTARY Ignorance of the distinction of the true nature of the Self and of the other alien entities is the root-cause of the trouble. The Self forgetting its pure nature imagines himself to be other than what he really is. He identifies himself with baser emotion al experiences such as, “I am angry." This vitiated state of
