Jinabhadra Gaņi's [The seventh संचरणाम्युपगमात् , कञ्चुकवद् बहिरेव तिष्ठति इति नियमस्याघटनात् प्लवनी एव तदिति भावः । किञ्च, कर्मणः संचरणमुपपद्यत इति ॥२५२८॥ D. C.
Goştha Māhila :-Karman of one person, say Devadatta, moves inside and outside the body producing ailment both inside and outside the body (by his movements ). Karman of one person does not enter or affect the body of another in any way.
Ācārya :--In that case, the principle that Karman exists on the surface of body like the cast-off skin of a serpent, will be null and void. The principle of accepting Karman as moving inside at one time and outside at another, is not consistent with that of accepting it as existing only on the surface like the castoff skin of a snake.
Secondly, if Karman moves in and out, the ailment should be felt one after the other. But that is not so. For, the ailments og used outside, as well as, inside the body as a result of striking a stick are felt simultaneously. So, it is not proper to take Karman as moving inside and outside the body. 233 (2528)
There is another difficulty in taking Karman as movingन भवंतरमण्णेइ य सरीरसंचारओ तदनिलो छ । चलियं निजरियं चिय भणियमकम्मं च जं समए ॥२३४॥२५२९॥ 234. Na bhavantaramaņņei ya sarīrasancāraö tadanilo vval Caliyam nijjariyam ciya bhaniyamakammam ca jam samad.
(2529) [न भवान्तरमन्वेति च शरीरसंचारतस्तदनिल इव ।
चलितं निर्जीर्णमेव भणितमकर्म च यत् समये ॥२३४॥२५२९॥ 234. Na bhavāntaramanveti ca śarīrasañcāratastadanila iva i
Calitam nirjirņameva bharitamakarma oa yat samayè. (2529) ]
Trans. 234. Like the wind, moving in the body, it does not depart to the other world. For, it is said in the Scriptures
