## Gatha 151
## Karma/251
**Gatha Meaning:** The **Jati** (birth) **Karma** is said to be inseparable from the **Bas** (fixed) and **Sthavar** (immovable) **Karma**. This is how the **Kay** (body) arises. According to the **Jina** (Jain) teachings, it is described as six types based on the differences in **Prithvi Kay** (earth body) etc. ||151||
**Detailed Meaning:** The **Bas** and **Sthavar** **Karma** are inseparable from the **Jati** **Karma**. The **Kay** of the soul, which arises from the manifestation of these **Karma**, is described as **Trasarup** (mobile form) and **Sthavarup** (immovable form) by the **Sarvagya** (omniscient) **Vitrag** (liberated). The **Kay** is the form of the **Tras** (mobile) or **Sthavar** (immovable) being. This is how it is understood. The **Tras** is characterized by **Udvagjanit Kriya** (action arising from agitation) and the **Sthavar** by **Sthiti Kriya** (action of stillness). This can be understood from the **Nirukti** (etymology). The **Kay** is that which is accumulated through **Pudgal Skandhas** (aggregates of matter), like the **Audarik** (physical) body etc. The soul residing in the body is also considered **Kay** by implication. The **Jiva** (soul) **Vipaki** (resultant) **Jati** **Karma** is the cause of the **Bas** and **Sthavar** **Karma**, and therefore the **Kay** is the **Paryaya** (transformation) of the **Jiva**. This is how it is understood. The **Pudgal** **Vipaki** **Sharira** (body) **Karma** is also considered **Kay**. This **Kay** is of six types based on the differences in **Prithvi** (earth), **Ap** (water), **Tej** (fire), **Vayu** (air), **Vanaspati** (plant), and **Tras** (mobile).
**Note:** The **Kay** is that which is accumulated. The accumulation of bricks etc. does not involve **Vyabhicharadosh** (transgression), because the **Prithvi** (earth) etc. **Karma** should be considered as a qualifier.
**Doubt:** Why is it not explained that the **Kay** is that which is accumulated through the manifestation of the **Pudgal** **Vipaki** **Audarik** (physical) body etc. **Karma**?
**Solution:** This is not the case, because the **Sahkari Rup** (cooperative form) of **Prithvi** (earth) etc. **Karma** cannot accumulate **Nokarma Vargana** (non-karmic categories) solely through the manifestation of the **Audarik** (physical) body etc. **Karma**.
**Doubt:** Will the **Nokarma** (non-karmic) **Pudgal** accumulated through **Prithvi** (earth) etc. by the **Jiva** residing in **Karman Kay Yog** (state of karmic body) acquire the characteristic of **Kay** due to its influence?
**Solution:** This should not be understood in this way, because the cause of the accumulation of **Nokarma** (non-karmic) **Pudgal** is the **Prithvi** (earth) etc. **Karma** which is **Sahkrit** (co-operative) with the **Audarik** (physical) body etc. **Karma**. This **Sattva** (essence) is also found in the **Karman Kay Yog** (state of karmic body), therefore the characteristic of **Kay** is also applicable in that state.
**Or:** The **Audarik** (physical) body etc. **Pudgal Pind** (aggregate of matter) accumulated through the **Yogarup** (state of yoga) **Atma** (soul) is **Kay**.
**Doubt:** Even with this explanation of **Kay**, the previous objection is not resolved. That is, even in this way, the **Jiva** in the **Karman Kay Yog** (state of karmic body) acquires the characteristic of **A Kay** (non-body).
**Solution:** This is not the case, because the **Karma** **Pudgal Pind** (aggregate of matter) accumulated through the **Yogarup** (state of yoga) **Atma** (soul) is found in the **Kay Yog** (state of body) in a state of **Sadbhav** (harmony). That is, when the **Atma** (soul) is in the **Karman Kay Yog** (state of karmic body), its **Jnana Avarana** (veil of knowledge) etc. eight **Karma** are in a state of **Sadbhav** (harmony), therefore the characteristic of **Kay** is applicable.
