## Six Substances - Description of the Five Astikayas
**Since the Siddha is not produced from any cause, he is not a product. Since he does not produce anything, he is not a cause either.** || 36 ||
Just as the samsari jiva is born in the form of a deva, man, animal, or hell being, due to the causal chain of his own karma-formed atma-parinama and the causal chain of karma-formed pudgala-parinama, so too is the Siddha born in the same way - this is not the case. The Siddha, with the destruction of both karmas, is born of himself, not from any other cause. Just as the samsari jiva, being a cause, produces the effects of his own karma-formed atma-parinama and karma-formed pudgala-parinama, and thus produces the effects of deva, man, animal, and hell being, so too does the Siddha produce his own form - this is not the case. The Siddha, with the destruction of both karmas, produces only himself, not anything else.
**Hindi Explanation of the Verse - 36**
**Anvaya-artha:** (Yasmat sa Siddha) The Siddha (kutashchit api) is not born from (anya) any other (karan) cause. (Tena) Therefore, (karyam na) he is not a (kary) product, and (kinchit api) he does not produce (anya karyako) any other (utpadayati) product. (Tena) Therefore, (sa) he (karanam api) is not a (na bhavati) cause either.
**Tika:** This negates the existence of a cause-and-effect relationship for the Siddha.
Just as the samsari jiva is born in the form of a deva, man, animal, or hell being, due to the causal chain of his own karma-formed atma-parinama and the causal chain of karma-formed pudgala-parinama, so too is the Siddha born in the same way - this is not the case. The Siddha (Siddha Bhagavan) is actually born of himself, with the destruction of both karmas, and is not born from any other cause (karma-formed atma or karma-formed pudgala).
Furthermore, just as the samsari jiva, being a cause, produces the effects of his own karma-formed atma-parinama and karma-formed pudgala-parinama, and thus produces the effects of deva, man, animal, and hell being, so too does the Siddha produce his own form - this is not the case. The Siddha is actually born of himself, with the destruction of both karmas, and does not produce anything else (karma-formed atma-pudgala or the effects of deva, etc.). || 36 ||
**Sanskrit Tatparya-vritti of the Verse - 36**
Now, the verse establishes the absence of a cause-and-effect relationship for the Siddha, in comparison to karma. The samsari jiva, who is born from a cause, is not born at any time in the form of a man, hell being, etc. Because - (Yasmat karanat) from what cause, (kajjam na tena so Siddha) the Siddha is not a product due to that cause, (utpadedi na kinnivi) he does not produce anything, (svayam karma-na-karma-rupam kim api na utpadayati) he does not produce anything in the form of karma or non-karma, (karanam iha tena na so hodita) therefore, he is not a cause.
