## Chapter Forty-Two
**339** Or, the transformation of this being in the womb of karma and non-karma. The dwelling in the womb would be its absorption, the transition to another being. ||2|| The agitation and disturbance of the mind, possessed by anger, etc., would be its various states, its transition to various births. ||12|| This is its dwelling in the cycle of existence, its transformation in the four states of existence. The non-existence of knowledge, etc., in each birth is its non-attainment. ||3|| Happiness and unhappiness, strength, food, the body and its dwelling, for embodied beings, transform in this way. So too, knowledge, perception, and the power of the senses of those who are attached to the dust of karma. ||4|| Thus, these states of being, which are perishable for those who are bound to the cycle of existence, do not exist for those who are liberated. Their states are imperishable. ||6|| The state of being of those who are liberated is their self-essence, their supreme state. Having attained their true self, they are free from dependence on external things. ||16|| The absence of the influence of sensations, their immovability, their profound nature, would be their imperishable, indestructible nature, their transcendence of decay and rise. ||7|| Their eighth state is their freedom from obstruction, their non-obstruction by living and non-living beings. Their infinite knowledge would be their understanding of the entire universe. ||6|| Their infinite vision would be their perception of the essence of the universe. Their non-resistance by others is their infinite power. ||9|| Their lack of desire for objects of enjoyment is their infinite happiness. Their freedom from the effects of merit and demerit is their purity. ||10|| Their purity is their freedom from internal and external impurities. There is no one in this world who is naturally pure and perfect from the beginning of time. ||101|| The transformation of the regions of the being, due to the destruction of the karma-like impurities, is their indestructibility. Their impenetrability is also due to the destruction of the karma-like impurities. ||102|| The non-decay of the liberated being is considered its non-perishability. Its immeasurable nature, due to its inherent qualities, is its unfathomability. ||103|| The body is its measurable nature, and the child dwelling in the mother's womb in distress is its dwelling in the womb. ||90|| Or, the transformation of this being in the womb of karma and non-karma is its dwelling in the womb, and the transition from one body to another is its absorption. ||91|| The agitation and disturbance of the mind, possessed by anger, etc., is its agitation, and its wandering in various births is called its various states. ||92|| The transformation in the four states of existence is called the dwelling in the cycle of existence of this being, and the non-existence of knowledge, etc., in each birth is called its non-attainment. ||93|| Just as the happiness and unhappiness, strength, food, body, and dwelling of these embodied beings, who are attached to the dust of karma, change, so too, their knowledge, perception, happiness, and power change. ||94|| Thus, these perishable states of being of those who are bound to the cycle of existence do not exist for those who are liberated. Their states are imperishable. ||95|| The state of being of those who are liberated is their self-essence, their supreme state. Having attained their true self, they are free from dependence on external things. ||96|| The absence of the influence of
