तह जीवे कम्माण णोकम्माण च पस्सिदु वण्ण ।
जीवस्स एस वण्णो जिणेहि ववहारदो उत्तो ॥५९॥ Taha jive Kammānam nokammānam cha passidum vannam Jīvassa yesa vanno jinehi vavahārado vutto
तथा जीवे कर्मणा नोकर्मणा च दृष्ट्वा वर्णम् ।
जीवस्यैष वर्णो जिनैर्व्यवहारत उक्त ॥५९। 519 Similarly perceiving the colour which belongs to the material entities of karma and non-karma, which are found in association with_jiva, the all-knowing Jina describes it from the vyavahāra point of view, as the quality of the soul

ससारप्रगुक्ताना न सन्ति खलु वर्णादय केचित् । ६१॥ 61 So long as jīvas have embodied existence in the would of samsara, attributes of colour etc, are present in them The moment they liberate themselves from the samsaric bondage, these characteristics such as colour, etc, have absolutely no relation to them
