[The sixth
इह यदहेतुकं तद् न जायते, यथा खरशृङ्गम्, यच्च जायते तद् निर्हेतुकमपि न भवति, यथा घटः, निष्कारणस्य च जातस्य निष्कारण एव विनाशः स्यादिति ॥ २५८ ॥ ( १८०६ ) ॥
D. C. - According to the first alternative stated above, jiva is born first and then Karma. Now since Karma is the hetu of jivas, the production of jiva is totally unjustified like the production of khara-s'ringa on account of its a-hetuktva. For, that which has no hetu, is never produced like khara-sringa, and that which has already been produced is never nir-hetuka as in case of ghata. Moreover, that which is born without any cause, has even to meet its end without any end.
Proceeding further the author argues
अहवाsure चिसो निक्कारणओ न कम्मजोगो से । अह निक्कारणओ सो, मुक्कस्स वि होहिइ स भुजो ॥ २५९ ॥
Ahava'nai cciya so nikkaraṇao na kammajogo se Aha nikkāranao so, mukkassa vi hohii sa bhujjo || 259 ॥ ( 1807) [ अथवाऽनादिरेव स निष्कारणको न कर्मयोगस्तस्य ।
अथ निष्कारणः सः, मुक्तस्यापि भविष्यति स भूयः ॥ २५९ ॥ (१८०७) Athava nadireva sa niskāraṇako na karmayogastasya I Atha niskaranah sah muktasyāpi bhavisyati sa bhūyah ||259 (1807 ) ]
Trans. – 259 Or, that ( soul) being anādi, may be beyond any cause, and ( hence ) have no connection with Karma. If it were beyond any cause, it might have belonged to a mukta being also. ( 1807 )
टीका - अथ चेत् कर्मणः पूर्वमात्माऽनादिकालसिद्ध एव इति किं तस्य सहेतुक - निर्हेतुकचिन्तया ? इति । अत्रोच्यते - " निक्कारणओ इत्यादि " यद्येवम्, ततः से" तस्य जीवस्य कर्मयोगः कर्मबन्धो न प्राप्नोति, अकारणत्वात्, नभस इव । अथ निष्कारणोऽप्यसौ भवति, तर्हि मुक्तस्यापि
