________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha निर्जरा के मुख्य कारण का कथन - The main cause of dissociation or shedding (nirjara) - जो संवरेण जुत्तो अप्पट्ठपसाधगो हि अप्पाणं / मुणिऊण झादि णियदं णाणं सो संधुणोदि कम्मरयं // 145 // ___ यः संवरेण युक्तः आत्मार्थप्रसाधको ह्यात्मानम् / ज्ञात्वा ध्यायति नियतं ज्ञानं स संधुनोति कर्मरजः // 145 // अन्वयार्थ - [संवरेण युक्तः ] संवर से युक्त ऐसा [ यः] जो जीव, [आत्मार्थप्रसाधकः हि ] वास्तव में आत्मार्थ का प्रसाधक (स्वप्रयोजन का प्रकृष्ट साधक] वर्तता हुआ, [आत्मानम् ज्ञात्वा ] आत्मा को जानकर (अनुभव करके) [ज्ञानं नियतं ध्यायति ] ज्ञान को निश्चलरूप से ध्याता है, [ सः] वह [कर्मरजः] कर्मरज को [ संधुनोति ] खिरा देता है। That soul (jiva) which, fortified with stoppage (samvara), gets genuinely immersed in the soul-nature and, after knowing the soul, meditates, without wavering, on soulknowledge, sheds the dirt of the karmas.

Next, the soul acquires knowledge of the nature (svabhava) of the objects (vastu) to know what needs to be accepted (upadeya) and what needs to be rejected (heya).
