CHAPTER X
201
यस्मात् कर्म करोति कर्म ददाति हरतीति यत् किंचित् ।
तस्मात्तु सर्वनीवा अकारका भवन्त्यापन्नाः ॥३३५॥
332 to 335. It is by karma that the soul is nescient; it is by karma that he is made the Knower; it is by karma that he is asleep and it is by karma that he is awake; it is by karma that he is happy and it is by karma that he is miserable; it is by karma that he is led to wrong belief; and by the same he is led to nondiscipline; it is by karma that he is made to wander in the upper, middle and nether worlds; and whatever good and evil is done, is also by karma; because it is karma that does, karma that gives and it is karma that destroys, therefore all jīvas must become akārakā or non-doer.
पुरुसिच्छियाहिलासी इच्छीकम्मं च पुरिसमहिलसइ । एसा आइरिय परंपरागया एरिसी दु सुई ॥३३६॥ purusicchiyāhilāsi icchīkammañ ca purisamahilasai esā āiriya paramparāgayā erisi du sui (336) पुरुषः स्त्र्यभिलाषी स्त्रीकर्म च पुरुषमभिलषति । एषाचार्यपरम्परागतेदृशी तु श्रुतिः ॥३३६॥ तम्हा ण कोवि जीवो अबम्हचारी उ तुम्हमुवएसे । जम्हा कम्मं चेव हि कम्मं अहिलसइ नं भणियं ॥३३७॥ tamhā ņa kovi jīvo abamhacārī u tumhamuvayese jamha. kammam ceva hi kammam ahilasai jam bhaniyam (337) तस्मान्न कोऽपि जीवोऽब्रह्मचारी युष्माकमुपदेशे ।
यस्मात्कमैव हि कर्माभिलषतो यद् भणितम् ॥३३७॥
336 to 337. The karmic material determining the male sex creates a longing for woman, and the karmic material determining the female sex creates a longing for man. If this is the teaching of the scripture handed down traditionally by the Ācāryas, then according to your gospel sex-desire is merely a matter of one material karma desiring another material karma as mentioned before.
जम्हा घाएदि परं परेण घाइज्जए य सा पयडी। एएणत्थेण दु किर भण्णइ परघायणामेत्ति ॥३३८॥
