THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
170. Knowledge can not exist without soul, nor can a soul be without knowledge; there can be no doubt in this. Therefore just as knowledge illuminates the self and other (objects), so does conation (also).
जाणंतो पस्संतो ईहापुव्वं ण होइ केवलियो । केवलिणाणी तम्हा तेण दु सोऽबंधगोभणिदो ॥ १७१ ॥
जानन् पश्यन्नीहापूवं न भवति केवलिनः। केवलज्ञानी तस्मात् तेन तु सोऽबन्धको भणितः॥ १७१ ॥
171. An omniscient does not know or conate by voluntary exertion it is, why he is all-knowing and has thus been said to be free from (fresh karmic) bondage.
परिणामपुव्ववयणं जीवस्स य बंधकारणं होई। परिणामरहियवयणं तम्हा णाणिस्सण हि बंधो ॥ १७२ ॥
परिणामपूर्ववचनं जीवस्य च बंधकारणं भवति ।
परिणामरहितवचनं तस्माज्ज्ञानिनो न हि बंधः ॥ १७२ ॥ ईहापुव्वं यवणं जीवस्स य बंधकारणं होई। ईहारहियं वयणं तम्हा णाणिस्स ण हि बंधो १७३ जुम्मं । ईहापूर्ववचनं जीवस्य च बंधकारणं भवति । ईहारहितं वचनं तस्माज्ज्ञानिनो न हि बंधः ॥ १७३ ॥ युग्मं ।
172-73. Speech arising from thought-activity, is the cause of bondage in a mundane soul ; while speech independ. ent of thought-activity cannot cause any bondage in the allknowing (soul).
Words uttered voluntarily do cause bondage in a mundane soal; while involuntary flow of speech does not cause any bondage in an all-knowing soul. ठाणणिसेज्जविहारा ईहापुव्वं ण होइं केवलियो। तम्हा ण होई बंधो साकडं मोहणीयस्स ॥ १७४॥
