Virtue and Vice (Punya and Pāpa)
the soul may become MithyāDrști again. Such a soul would regain SamyagDarśana in the course of time. Such an alteration may continue many times till the SamyagDarśana is achieved by the total destruction of Darśana Mohaniya. रत्तो बंधदि कम्मं मुच्चदि जीवो विरागसंपत्तो। ght futach) AFET AT YOU ||15011 Ratto bandhadi kammam muccadi jīvo virāgasampatto.

A soul with attachment gets bonded with Karma, and the detached one gets liberation. This has been preached by omniscient lords. Therefore, do not have attachment with Karma. [150] Annotation
In this stanza, in very simple language, Ācārya Kundakunda has stated a basic fact:- If one has attachment with Karma then the soul would be bonded with new Karma, and if there is detachment then it would result into liberation. To highlight the importance of this fact, he emphasizes that this has been preached by omniscient lords (Jinendra Deva).
Ācārya Kundakunda further provides a valuable lesson derived from this fact. He says that in view of the above mentioned fact, one should not keep any attachment with Karma. It may be noted that in stanza 147, he has already stated that one should not have any attachment with any type of Karma (auspicious or inauspicious). Here to convey the message clearly and in a general way he does not qualify Karma by any adjective - auspicious or inauspicious.
