________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha When pleasure and pain in oneself and in others are due to the limbs (anga) of the auspicious kind of disposition (visuddhi)1, these are causes of the influx of meritorious-karmas (punya). When pleasure and pain in oneself and in others are due to the limbs of the inauspicious kind of disposition (samklesa)2, these are causes of the influx of demeritorious-karmas (papa). O Lord! In your view, if pleasure and pain in oneself and in others are not due to the auspicious or inauspicious kinds of dispositions then there cannot be influx of either meritorious or demeritorious karmas; these do not yield any fruit. 1- auspicious kind of disposition (visuddhi) - due to virtuous (dharmya) and pure (sukla) kinds of concentration. There are three limbs (anga) of the auspicious kind of disposition - its cause (karana), its effect (karya), and its own-nature (svabhava). 2-inauspicious kind of disposition (samklesa) - due to sorrowful (arta) and cruel (raudra) kinds of concentration. This also has three limbs (anga) - its cause (karana), its effect (karya), and its own-nature (svabhava). . . . . . . 248
