अष्टकप्रकरणम्

soul is one, eternal, non-tangible, momentary and nonexistant and again having perceived the futility of the world is preached as delusion-infected.
bhūyāṁso nāmino baddhā bāhyenecchādinā hyami. ātmānastadvaśātkastaṁ bhave tisthanti dārune. evam vijñāya tattyāgavidhistyāgaśca sarvathā. vairāgyamāhuḥ sajjñānasangatam tattvadarśinaḥ.
These souls are chained into numerous nomenclatures through a chain of transmigrations, caused by external desires etc. the existence of the soul is subjected to afflictions in this dreadful world.
Thus, having perceived the afflictions of the soul because of the cycle of birth and death, truth knowers call the modes of abandonment as well as abandonment itself, by all means, the renunciation imbued with knowledge.
etatattvaparijñānānniyamenopajāyate. yato'taḥ sādhanaṁ siddheretadevoditaṁ jinaiḥ.
This renunciation imbued with knowledge occurs definitely from the enlightened knowledge of reals, hence preached by Seers as means of Liberation.
