________________ Verse 55 3 Teletef - [ Frechfactshel: aan: ] 772057, farefa, 474 Biti da [इति नामसंयुताः] ऐसे नामों वाली [प्रकृतयः] (नामकर्म की) प्रकृतियाँ [सतः नाशम् ] सत् भाव का नाश और [ असतः भावस्य उत्पादम् ] असत् भाव का उत्पाद [ कुर्वन्ति ] करती हैं। The classes of the name-karma (namakarma) comprising names - the infernal (naraka), the subhuman (tiryanca), the human (manusya) and the celestial (deva) - cause the destruction (nasa, vyaya) of the existing (sat) and the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat). EXPLANATORY NOTE The ocean itself does not undergo the destruction (nasa, vyaya) of the existing (sat) and the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat). However, the waves in its water, caused by the wind blowing from all sides, illustrate the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat) and the destruction (nasa, vyaya) of the existing (sat). In the same way, the soul (iva) itself does not undergo the destruction (nasa, vyaya) of the existing (sat) and the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat). However, its sequentially acquired modes (paryaya) - as the infernalbeing (naraka), the subhuman-being (tiryanca), the human being (manusya) or the celestial-being (deva) - which are contingent on the fruition of the name-karma (namakarma), cause the destruction (nasa, vyaya) of the existing (sat) and the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat). . . . . . . . . . . 117
