**Panchaastikaya Prabhrut**
**Samaya Vyakhya Gatha - 27**
Now, a special explanation of these (the six substances and the five astikayas) is given. First, the explanation of the jiva astikaya.
**Anvayaartha:** (Jiva iti bhavati) The soul is a jiva, (chetayita) a knower, (upayogavisesita) characterized by its function, (prabhu) a lord, (karta) a doer, (bhokta) an enjoyer, (dehamaatra) limited to the body, (na hi moorta) not material, (cha) and (karmasamyukta) connected with karma.
**Tika:** Here (in this gatha), the sopadhi and nirupadhi nature of the soul in the state of samsara is described.
The soul is called 'jiva' because it holds the life principle (bhavaprana) in reality, and because it holds the material life principle (dravya prana) in practice. It is called 'chetayita' (knower) because it is essentially consciousness (chit) in reality, and because it has the power of consciousness (chichhakti) in practice. It is called 'upayogavisesita' (characterized by its function) because it is marked by its function, which is the manifestation of consciousness (chaitanyaparinamalakshana), in practice, and because it is distinct from the body. It is called 'prabhu' (lord) because it is the master of its own actions (bhavakarma) in reality, and because it is the master of its own material actions (dravya karma) in practice, in the binding, covering, shedding, and liberation of karma. It is called 'karta' (doer) because it is the doer of the soul's transformations (atmaparinama) caused by karmic actions (paugalikakarma) in reality, and because it is the doer of karmic actions (paugalikakarma) caused by the soul's transformations (atmaparinama) in practice. It is called 'bhokta' (enjoyer) because it is the enjoyer of the happiness and sorrow (sukhaduhkhaparinama) caused by good and bad karma (shubhaashubhakarma) in reality, and because it is the enjoyer of the desired and undesired objects (ishtaanishtavishaya) obtained by good and bad karma (shubhaashubhakarma) in practice. It is called 'dehamaatra' (limited to the body) because it is limited to the body in practice, although it is capable of experiencing the world (lokamaatra) and has the power to transform itself (visishtavagahparinama shakti), and because it resides in a body (sharira) made of atoms (anu) and is large (mahach). It is called 'na hi moorta' (not material) because it is not material in reality, although it is material (moorta) in practice, because it is united with karma (karmabhi sahaiktatvaparinam). It is called 'karmasamyukta' (connected with karma) because it is connected with karma (karmabhi samyuktatva) in reality, because it is connected with karma (karmabhi samyuktatva) through the soul's transformations (chaitanyaparinam) that are in accordance with the karmic transformations (pulaparinama), and because it is connected with karma (karmabhi samyuktatva) in practice, because it is connected with the karmic transformations (pulaparinama) that are in accordance with the soul's transformations (chaitanyaparinam).
