Gommatasar Karmakanda-234
It is said that in the Aयोगीगुणस्थान, a jiva is liberated from 30 and 12 prakritis in order, and in relation to other jivas, it is said that they are liberated from 29 and 13 prakritis.
Just as there is saata-asaata-vedaniya-janaya sukha-duhkha in other gunasthanas, so too should it be for the Kevali Bhagavan. When there is such doubt, the Acharya resolves it by saying the following gatha:
"Nava ya rayadosa, indiyanaanam cha kevalimhi jado.
Teṇa du saadasada-jasuhaddukkhaṃ natthi indiyajan." ||273||
Meaning: Due to the destruction of the praalikas of the Kevali Bhagavan, the four types of maya that are the cause of raga, the four types of lobha, the three vedas, hasya-rati, and the four types of krodha that are the cause of dvesha, the four types of mana, arati, shoka, bhaya, and jugupsa have been completely destroyed. Therefore, their raga-dvesha has been destroyed, and simultaneously, paroksha mati-jnana and shruti-jnana cannot exist in the knowledge that is the illuminator of all truths. Therefore, indriya-janita jnana has been destroyed. For this reason, the Kevali does not experience sukha-duhkha from the arising of saata and asaata-vedaniya, because sukha-duhkha is indriya-janita, and the mohaniya, which is the cooperating cause of vedaniya, is absent. Therefore, even when vedaniya arises, it is unable to function as the cause of sukha-duhkha.
Why is vedaniya karma not the cause of indriya-janita sukha-duhkha for the Kevali? In response to this, two gathas are said:
"Samayatthidi-go bandho, saadas-sudayappigo jado tassa. Teṇa asadas-sudao, saadas-ruvena parinadi." ||274||
"Edeṇa karaneṇa du, saadas-seva du nirantaro udao.
Teṇasada-nimitta, parishaha jinavare natthi." ||275||
Meaning: The bandha of the saata-vedaniya of the Kevali Bhagavan is of a one-time state, therefore it is only in the form of udaya, and the udaya of the asaata-vedaniya of the Kevali is transformed from the form of saata. ||274||
The udaya of the saata of the Kevali is continuous, therefore the parisahas (hunger, thirst, cold, heat, bites of insects, walking, lying down, sitting, illness, touch of grass, and excrement) that arise from the udaya of the asaata do not exist. ||275||
