Bhagavai 5:5:116-122
- 255 - For what reason, O Lord! has it been said that the infernals experience corresponding feeling as well as non-corresponding feeling? Gautama! the infernals who experience feeling that is corresponding to the karma that they bound experience corresponding feeling. Infernals who do not experience feeling that is corresponding to the karma that they bound experience non-corresponding feeling. For this reason it
was said so. 5.121 evam jāva vemāniyā. Similar description O Lord! ...... up to the Empyrean (Vaimāņika) gods.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 116-121
According to the Jain doctrine of karma, the experiencing of the feeling is both evambhūta and anevambhūta, i.e., corresponding and non-corresponding to the karma bound in the past. In the former case, the feeling is in agreement with the type of karma that was bound in the past, while in the latter case, one experiences quite a different feeling which is contradictory to the karma that was bound in the past. Abhayadevasūri has scrutinized the doctrine of the experiencing of corresponding feeling. According to him, the life-span-determining karma that was to be experienced for a long time can be cut short. Untimely death is a commonplace occurrence known to all. If untimely premature death is not accepted, then the death of millions of human beings in great war will remain unexplained.' He has given scriptural evidence for the experience of non-corresponding feeling. According to him, the scripture propounds the reduction of the duration and intensity of the fruition of the karma?
Here heretics stand for the followers of Buddhism", according to whom the experience of feeling is always corresponding.
