Bhagavai 7:10:218-221
-: 627 :
Kālodāyī! it is not possible. It is only in the pudgalāstikāya which is a corporal non-sentient substance that a person can rest in, sleep in, stand in, sit in,
turn sides in. 7.220 eyamsi nam bhamte! poggalatthikāyamsi rūvikāyamsi ajīvajākāyamsi jīvānam
pāvā kammā pāvaphalavivāgasamjuttā kajjamti? no tiņatthe samatthe. kālodāi! eyamsi nam jīvatthikāyamsi arūvikāyamsi jīvānam pāvā kammā pāvaphalavivāgasamjuttā kajjamti. ettha nam se kālodāi sambuddhe samanam bhagavam mahāvīram vamdai namamsai, vamditā namamsitā evam vayāsi-icchāmi nam bhamte! tubbham amtiyum dhammam nisāmettae. evam jahā khamdae taheva pavvaie, taheva ekkārasa amgāim ahijjai jāva vicittehim tavokammehim appānam bhāvemāne viharai. Are the evil karmas, bound by soul, made attended with the fruition of evil result, O Lord! by souls in the corporal non-sentient pudgalāstikāya? O Kālodāyī! this is not possible. It is only in the non-corporal (sentient) jīvāstikāya that the evil karmas, bound by the soul are made attended with the fruition of evil result by the souls. Now Kālodāyī got enlightened by this dialogue; he offers homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra; having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed the Lord thus–O Lord! I wish to hear Dhamma from Your Holiness! Lord Mahāvīra, delivered sermons on Dhamma and he got initiated—the whole description is like that in the episode of Skandaka (2.50-63). Like Skandaka, Kālodāyī was admitted as a disciple, he studied the eleven books of the Inner Corpus ..... up to he undertook in the Lord's presence many types of the practice of austerity (like fourth meal, sixth meal, eighth meal, tenth meal and twelfth meal austerities, and fortnightly and monthly fastings etc.), thus sanctifying the soul with different varieties of penances.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 218-220
The curiosity of Kālodāyī increased. He arrived at the Religious Congregation of the Lord Mahāvīra, and attentively listened to the sermon on the doctrine of the five extended substances. After having properly understood the doctrine, he asked a question related to the doctrine of karma, keeping in view the Sāmkhya doctrine that karma is not bound by the soul, nor does the soul attain liberation, the karma lies in the non-sentient prakrti—“Does the fruition of evil karma take place in the pudgalāstikāya which is material?” The Lord, in reply, said, "O Kālodāyī! the mundane soul is not absolutely pure; so, bondage and liberation take place in the soul. The fruition of evil karma also takes place in the soul itself.” 7.221 tae nam samane bhagavam mahāvīre annaya kayāi rāyagihāo nagarão,
gunasilāo ceiyão, padinikkhamati, padinikkhamittă bahiya janavayavihāram viharai.
