(Achala). In the other mundane souls they are quivering-nonquivering; i.e., all the units quiver from birth to death except the 8 central units which do not quiver. All the same, every unit of soul is bound by Karmic matter. But the bondage is due to the nature of vibration (Yoga capacity to draw in molecules) and not to their being quivering. Therefore these 8 units do not quiver but are bound by Karmic matter.
पोग्गलदव्वम्हि अणू संखेज्जादी हवंति चलिदा हु। चरिममहक्खंधम्मि य चलाचला होति हु पदेसा ॥ ५६३ ॥ पुद्गलद्रव्ये अणवः संख्यातादयो भवन्ति चलिता हि । चरममहास्कन्धे च चलाचला भवन्ति हि प्रदेशाः॥ ५६३ ॥
593. In the matter substance, atoms (and molecules of) numerable, etc. (i.e., of innumerable and infinite atoms). are (all) quivering. But the atoms (Pradesha-Parmánu) in the last maximum molecule (Maháskandha) are quivering and non-quivering ; (as in it, some atoms quiver and others do not).
