We can now understand the difference in the nature of the three aspects of Cetanā, viz.jñāna, karma and phala in the state of bondage and liberation. Kundakunda explains this from an ethical point of view. He refers to three kinds of upayoga, viz., auspicious (śubha), inasupicious (aśubha), and pure (śuddha).37 This term, upayoga, is peculiar to Jain philosophy. Along with Cetanā, it is regarded as the differentia of a soul. It is not easy to distinguish between Cetanā and Upayoga unless we regard former as a static abstraction and the latter, the concrete Cetana, or Cetana as it functions, Kundakunda defines Upayoga which is indentified with Jiva, as Jhāna-cumdarśana.38 It is the different Pariņāmas or transformations of
