SAMAYASĀRA be related to psychical changes as their upādāna kāraṇa. Neither jīva is the Kartā of Karmas, nor matter is the Kartā of changes in the jīva. Thus there can be no identity between Self and matter, cetana dravya and acetana dravya.
Next it is pointed out that though Self and matter cannot be related to each other as material cause, still both may be related to each other as instrumental cause.
जीवपरिणामहे, कम्मत्तं पोग्गला परिणमंति ।
पोग्गलकम्मणिमित्तं तहेव जीवो वि परिणमदि ॥५०॥ jīvapariņāmaheduṁ kammattam poggalā pariņamati poggalakammaņimittam taheva jīvo vi parinamadi (80)
जीवपरिणामहेतुं कर्मत्वं पुद्गलाः परिणमन्ति ।
पुद्गलकर्मनिमित्तं तथैव जीवोऽपि परिणमति ॥८०॥ 80. As conditioned by the modifications of jiva, the material particles get modified into karmas. Similarly, conditioned by the Karmic materials, jīva also undergoes modifications.
णवि कुव्वदि कम्मगुणे जीवो कम्मं तहेव जीवगुणे ।
अण्णोण्णणिमित्तेण दु परिणाम जाण दोण्हं पि ॥१॥ navi kuvvadi kammagune jīvo kammam taheva jīvagune annonnanimitteņa du pariņāmam jāņa donham pi (81)
नापि करोति कर्मगुणान् जीवः कर्म तथैव जीवगुणान् ।
अन्योन्यनिमित्तेन तु परिणामं नानीहि द्वयोरपि ।।८१॥ 81. jīva does not produce changes in the qualities of karma nor does karma similarly in the qualities of jiva. The modifications of those two, know ye, are the result of one conditioning the other as nimitta kāraṇa or instrumental cause.
एदेण कारणेण दु कत्ता आदा सएण भावेण ।
पोग्गलकम्मकदाणं ण दु कत्ता सव्वभावाणं ॥८२।। edeņa kārņeņa du kattā ādā saena bhāveņa poggalakammakadānam na du kattā savvabhāvanain (82)
एतेन कारणेन तु कर्ता आत्मा स्वकेन भावेन ।
पुद्गलकर्मकृतानां न तु कर्ता सर्वभावानाम् ॥८२॥ 82. For this very reason the Self is the substantial cause of his own modifications (both pure and impure); but is not the substantial cause of any of the modifications of Karmic matter.
