SAMAYASĀRÁ जं कुदि भावमादा कत्ता सो होदि तस्स भावस्स ।
कम्मत्तं परिणमदे तम्हि सयं पोग्गलं दव्वं ॥४१॥ jam kunadi bhāvamādā kattā so hodi tassa bhāvassa kammattam pariņumade tamhi sayam poggalam davvam (91)
यं करोति भावमात्मा कर्ता स भवति तस्य भावस्य ।
कर्मत्वं परिणमते तस्मिन् स्वयं पुद्गलं द्रव्यम् ॥९१॥ 91. Whatever impure modifications the Self engenders (by relinquishing his own pure nature) to those modifications he becomes the Kartā or the agent.

COMMENTARY The Self ignorant of his true nature is incapable of differentiating himself from the external objects. He readily assumes the qualities of the external objects and equally transfers his own attributes to the external objects. On account of this transposition of attributes or adhyāsa, the Self puts on the qualities which really belong to matter. For example the temperature variation of the environment of being hot and cold is transferred to himself by an ordinary man who will say I am hot or I am cold. Similarly the feelings of affection and hatred are attributes relating to Karmic matter and yet the ignorant ego will feel identical with these attributes and say, “I desire," "I
