________________ .: 348 :. Jinabhadra Gani's [ The sixth D. C-Mandika:-Where do the Mukta souls reside? Bhagavan:-They reside at the end of the three worlds O Saumya! Mandika:-How do jivas move to such a long distance even if they are unaccompanied by Karmas? All sorts of movements of a jiva depend upon Karma, and hence, how will extensive movements such as moving in the sky etc. be possible at all? Bhagavan:-O Blessed Mandika! just as soul attains an unprecedented achivement when karma is destroyed, in the same way, the soul proceeds with the same movement and during the same period (of time ). Moreover, just as gourd, fruit of a castor plant, fire, smoke, arrow wafted from a bow etc. make movements by means of previous impellations, in the same way, a muktātmā is also able to make movement by means of previous impellations etc. | 296 (1844) किं सक्तिरियमरूवं मंडिय ! भुवि चेयणं च किमरूवं ? | जह से विसेसधम्मो चेयन्नं तह मया किरिया ॥ २९७॥ (१८४५) Kim sakkiriyamaruvam Maṇdiya! bhuvi ceyanam ca kimarūvam?
