Soul (Jiva) and non-soul (Ajiva)
the Self. Can both be true? How can we obtain the true picture
from these two contradictory views? Answer: We shall find the answer of this question in the next
two stanzas. राया हु णिग्गदो त्ति य एसो बलसमुदयस्य आदेसो। aanurg Soulle apetectant formet trent 114711 एमेव य ववहारो अज्झवसाणादि अण्णभावाणं। जीवो त्ति कदो सुत्ते तत्थेक्को णिच्छिदो जीवो॥48॥ Rāyā hu niggado tti ya eso balasamudayasya ādeso.

For the procession of a king with his army, one may exclaim, “The king is going out!' Such a statement comes from the relative point of view, because [in true sense in the entire procession of army) the king is only one (not the entire army). [47]
In the same way, from the relative point of view, others such as Adhyavasāna etc., are called as Jiva in the scriptures. But, in reality Jiva is only one (not many associated Adhyavasāna). [48]
Annotation
Regarding the procession of a king with his army, a common man easily accepts the following two views: (1) The procession of the king with his army is called as the
procession of the king. (2) In reality, the king is only one among the procession of the
army and the king.
