COMMENTARY
The real characteristic of a Jiva is consciousness, purity and bliss. But through the eternal chain of Karmas, bondage is produced and Jivas enjoy weal (Punya) or woe (Papa), according as they are possessed by auspicious and inauspicious Bhavas. The auspicious Bhavas are said to consist of freedom from delusior, acquirement of perfect faith and knowledge, practice of reverence and obeisance, observance of the five vows viz. truth, non-injury, chastity, non-acceptance of worldly objects and refraining from stealing, subduing of the four passions, Anger, Pride, Illusion and Greed, victory over the un. controllable scnses and practice of penances.
