THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
Thus, really, a Jîra, through its characteristic consciousness, is incapable of being affected by happiness or misery-the fruits of material karmas. It is only when matter assimilates itself with a Jiva that we see the fruits of material karmas also in that Jîva and say that this Jîva is enjoying happiness or misery the fruits of material karmas. But it should be reinembered tbat this enjoyinent of the fruits of karma by a Jiva is only apparent, but not real. Really speaking, Jivas enjoy bliss only, which is the resultant of its characteristic consciousness.
The commentator says that this verse refutes the doctrine of the Buddhistic philosophy that an agent does never enjoy the the fruits of karma.*
