________________ Biology in Jaina Treatise on Reals 12. The scholars have pointed out four flaws in adopting the concept of untimely death-(i) loss of the earned karmas (ii) gain of the unearned karmas (iii) futility of religeous and other efforts and (iv) contrariety with the postulate of this-birthal karmic fruition carried even in the other births also. The first three flaws are due to the ignorance about the term 'untimely death'. It means total premature realisation or karmic dripping at a faster rate and, therefore, shorter worldly life-span. It does not involve any non-realisational content in any way.Under this condition, the Jainas do not agree with the carryover fruitional phenomena. The bonded life-span karma will be fully realised in the current birth only. 190 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
