bearings on will (viriya) by the wise or foolish use of which one morally rises or falls: one sinks to a lower moral level because of one's own (ayae) negative attitude towards the right lore.
I 4
3 (65a) Karman measured with regard to its units (paesa) must be perceived, whereas karman measured with regard to its intensity (anubhāga) may be perceived by HAMG: this is Mv.'s own doctrine. The perceptibility is either brought about (ajjhovagamiya veyaṇā) or endured (uvakkamiyā v.), both with respect to action and annihilation of karman. Only the Arhat, i.e. the Bhagavat, knows which of the two cases first mentioned will arise and how it [scil. the karman] will develop [in the soul].
There is something curious about the text only speaking of pāva kamma.ajjhovagamiya veyaṇā (ābhyupagamiki vedanā) is brought about by [voluntary] pravrajya (one might call it 'active perception'), uvakkamiyā v. (aupakramiki v.) by roused karman ('passive perception'); cf. Thāņa 88b, Pannav. 556b.-ahākammam ahānikaraṇam ("niga°) maybe terminates the sentence. Probably nikarana is nirjarā although Abhay. explains it otherwise; vipariņāma indeed seems to mean (religious) momentary karman and (profane) durable karman.
4 (65b) Atom, aggregate and soul are eternal.
5 (66a) Ever since eternity the imperfect man (chaumattha maṇāsa), even he who had reached ohi-knowledge (ahohiya), nay, even he who had reached the highest degree of ohi-knowledge (para-m-āhohiya) attained salvation only after having become an Arhat, a Jina, an Omniscient Being (kevali); and so it will be for ever and ever. The saying 'alam atthu' is applicable (... tti vattavvam siya) only to these Arhats. **
The sing. subject always takes a plur. verb. Nom. hio instead of hie.ahohiya (= adho'vadhika) is he whose avadhi is 'lower than supreme avadhi' (paramâvadher adhastad) scil. 'covers a limited field' (parimita-kṣetraviṣayâvadhikaḥ), Abhay.-'alam atthu' hardly may be taken as a name.
5. PUDHAVI.
1 (67b) The number of abodes (āvāsa) of the different beings (HAMG) starting with those in Rayaṇappabhā, the first hell (pudhavi). Six mnemonic gāhās.
