________________ GOMMATASARA. 247 एकेन्द्रियप्रभृतीनां क्षीणकषायान्तानन्तराशीनाम् । योग प्रचक्षुर्दर्शनजीवानां भवति परिमाणम् ॥ ४८८ ॥ 488. The total of (souls in) the infinite groups from one-sensed beings up to the end of (the 12th stage, where all) passions have been destroyed is the number of souls with non-ocular conation.. CHAPTER XV. Thought-paint soul-quest (Leshyá Márgana.) लिंपइ अप्पीकीरइ एदीए णियअपुण्णपुण्णं च । जीवोत्ति होदि लेस्सा लेस्सागुणजाणयक्खादा ॥ ४८६ ॥ लिम्पत्यात्मीकरोति एतया निजापुण्यपुण्यं च । जीव इति भवति लेश्या लेश्यागुणज्ञायकाख्याता ॥४८६ ॥ 489. That by which the soul, stains himself with, or, makes his own the demerit (Pápa) and merit (Punya) is the (thought) paint (Bháva Leshyá). So it has been described by the knowers of the attributes of Paint (Leshyá). Commentary, Thought-paint seems to be a better expression than thought colour. Colour is a part of the thing itself. Paint is something imposed from without. The soul is immaterial (Amúrti), and colour (Varna) is an essential and peculiar attribute of Matter (स्पर्थ रस गेष वर्णवन्तः पुद्गलाः) Thought-colour and thought forms are familiar to all students of Theosophy. See " Thought Forms by Mrs. Besant and C. W. Leadbeater 1905." There are differences in arrangement, and in description also here and there. The definite, and unbridgeable demarcation between living and non-living, which characterises Jainism so beautifully is sometimes lost sight of. The soul, i.e., consciousness and also every modification of this consciousness, i.e. thought-activity, is immaterial and colourless. Colour is in matter; and matter certainly acts and reacts upon the soul by Inflow, Bondage, etc., due to Passions and Vibrations. जोगपउत्ती लेस्सा कसायउदयाणुरंजिया होइ । तत्तो दोगणं कजं बंधचउकं समुद्दिडं॥४६॥ Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
