SAMAYSARA
त खलु जीवणिबद्ध कम्मइयवग्गणागय जइया ।
तइया दु होदि हेदू जीवो परिणामभावाण ॥१३६॥ Tam kalu jiyanıbaddham kammaiya vagganagayam jayıya Tayiya du hodi hedu jivo parinama bhavanam (136)
तत्खलु जीवनिबद्ध कार्मणवर्गणागत यदा । तदा तु भवति हेतुर्जीव परिणामभावानाम् ॥१३६।।
132 to 136 Know ye, that if there is in the Self knowledge of things that are not real, it is due to the operation of nescience (karmic materials interfering with right knowledge), absence of belief in the reals is due to the operation of mithyātva karma, impure cognitive activity in the Self is due to the rise of kashaya (soul-soiling karmas), non-discipline in the Self is due to the rise of conduct perverting karma, the tendency to act through thought, word, and deed is due to the rise of yoga (or the psychophysical structure) Know ye, that everything that ought to be done is good and everything that ought to be discarded is bad Thus conditioned by the primary karmic materials, are produced the eight types of karmic psychic dispositions such as jñānāvaranīya (knowledge-obscuring) And thus when the eight types of karmic materials bound to the Self begin to operate, there arise in the Self corresponding psychic dispositions of which the Self is the causal agent
COMMENTARY
Thus it is emphasised once again that the various psychic modifications in the Self are caused by nescience and that these impure modifications can be got rid of only by true knowledge
Next it is said from the real point of view that the various manifestations of the Self are entirely different from those of material karmas
जीवस्स दु कम्मेण य सह परिणामा हु होति रागादी ।
एव जीवो कम्म च दोवि रागादिमावण्णा ॥१३७॥ Sivassa du kammena ya sahaparinama hu honti ragadı Evam jivo Kammam cha dovi ragadimavanna (137)
