Assimilative Soul-Quest (Áhára Márgana.) उदयावएणसरीरोदयेण तदेहवयणचित्ताणं । णोकम्मवग्गणाणं गहणं आहारयं णाम ॥ ६६४ ॥ उदयापन्नशरीरोदयेन तद्देहवचनचित्तानाम् । नोकर्मवर्गणानां ग्रहणमाहारकं नाम ॥ ६६४॥
884. The intaking of the quasi-Karmic molecules (No-karma Varganá) for a body, speech or mind under the operation of such body (sub.class of body-making- Karma) as happens to be in operation, (Udaya-panna) is called Assimilation (Áhára).
Commentary. The soul assimilates only 5 out of the 23 kinds of matter molecules enumerated in Gatha 594, 595.
These five are (1) assimilative (Ahara Vargana) which forms the physical, the fluid and the Áháraka bodies; (2) electric (Taijasa), (3) Speech (Bháshá,) (4) mind (Mano) and (5) Karmic (Kármana), of these the first 4 are called quasi-Karmic and the last is called Karmic.
