What is the reason for saying so ?

Those praṇas, bhūtas, jīvas and sativas who undergo suffering as per their acquired karma experience -suffering called evarbhūta ; but those prānas, bhūtas, jivas and sattvas who experience suffering 'not as per their acquired karma experience suffering called anevambhuta. It is for this so.
