यस्माज्जानाति नित्यं तस्माजीवस्तु ज्ञायको ज्ञानी। ज्ञानं च ज्ञायकाव्यतिरिक्तं ज्ञातव्यम् ॥ ४२५ ॥
425. As it always knows, so the soul is certainly the knower, the enlightened. And it should be known that knowledge is not separate from the knower.
णाणं सम्मादिहि दु संजमं सुत्तमंगपुव्वगयं । धम्माधम्मं च तहा पव्वजं अज्झति वुहा ॥ ४२६ ॥ ज्ञानं सम्यग्दृष्टिस्तु संयमं सूत्रमंगपूर्वगतम् । धर्माधर्म च तथा प्रवृज्यामभ्युपयंति बुधाः ॥ ४२६ ॥
426. Knowledge itself is the right-believer, the selfrestraint, the scriptures, consisting of Angas and Purvas, merit, demerit, and initiation to ascetism. The wise men know this.
Commentary. Knowledge is the special attribute of soul-substance. Every attribute of a substance is always pervading the substance and is quite inseparable from it; therefore knowledge and the knower are really one, having no separate existence. Knowledge of the soul becomes right belief.
अत्ता जस्स अमुत्तो णहु सो आहारओ हवदि एवं । आहारो खलु मुत्तो जह्मा सो पुग्गलमो दु॥ ४२७॥ आत्मा यस्यामूर्ती न खलु स ाहारको भवत्येवम् । श्राहारः खलु मूर्तो यस्मात्स पुद्गलमयस्तु ॥ ४२७ ॥
427. Soul is immaterial. It can never be Áháraka (i. e. taker of material molecules). Áhára is certainly material, it is really matter itself.
Commentary. Áhára is of 6 kinds :
1. Karmáhára. Taking in of Karmic molecules.
2. No-Karmahara. Taking in of external physical molecules: i. e., for physical, fluid and Áháraka bodies.
