Verse 7
वण्ण रस पंच गंधा दो फासा अट्ट णिच्छया जीवे । णो संति अमुत्ति तदो ववहारा मुत्ति बंधादो ॥
गाथा भावार्थ - निश्चयनय से जीव में पाँच वर्ण, पाँच रस, दो गंध, और आठ स्पर्श नहीं हैं, इसलिए जीव अमूर्तिक है। और व्यवहारनय से कर्मबन्ध की अपेक्षा से जीव मूर्तिक है।
___As per the transcendental point of view (niscaya naya), the soul is devoid of five colours, five kinds of taste, two kinds of smell, and eight kinds of touch and, therefore, it is incorporeal. When it is sullied with the karmic dirt, only then, from the empirical point of view (vyavahāra naya), the soul is said to be having corporeal form.
EXPLANATORY NOTES
Ācārya Kundkund's Samayasāra
ववहारणओ भासदि जीवो देहो य हवदि खलु ऍक्को । ण दु णिच्छयस्स जीवो देहो य कदावि ऍक्कट्ठो ॥ (1-27-27)
The empirical point of view (vyavahāra naya) indeed holds that the soul and the body are the same, however, from the transcendental point of view (niscaya naya) the soul and the body are never the same (as they are made up of different substances).
