GOMMATASARA..
अत्थं देक्खिय जाणदि पच्छा सदहदि सत्तभंगीहि । इदि दसणं च णाणं सम्मत्तं होति जीवगुणा ॥१५॥ अर्थ दृष्ट्वा जानाति पश्चात् श्रद्दधाति सप्तभङ्गीभिः। इति दर्शनं च ज्ञानं सम्यकत्वं भवन्ति जीवगुणाः ॥१५॥
15. (The soul) conates things, knows (them by the 7 kinds of Syádváda or Predication) and then believes (them). So conation and knowledge (and) belief are the Soul's qualities.
अब्भरहिदादु पुव्वं णाणं तत्तो हि दंसणं होदि । सम्मत्तमदो विरियं जीवाजीवगदमिदि चरिमे ॥ १६॥ अभ्यर्हितात् पूर्व ज्ञानं ततो हि दर्शनं भवति । सम्यक्त्वमता वीर्य जीवाजीवगतमिति चरमे ॥ १६ ॥
16. Being the highest attribute of the soul, the first (place is given to) knowledge. After that certainly comes conation. (Right) belief after that. Power relates to soul and non-soul both, therefore (it comes) last.
This gatha explains and justifies the order in which the Destructive Karmas are enumerated in Jainism.
घादीवि अघादि वा णिस्सेसं घादणे असकादो। णामतियणिमित्तादो विग्धं पडिदं अघादिचरिमम्हि ॥१७॥ घात्यपि अघातीव निःशेषं घातने अशक्यात् । नामत्रयनिमित्ताद् विघ्नं पठितमघातिचरमे ॥ १७॥ ____17. The Obstructive Karma is put after the non-destructive Karmas, (because) even though Destructive, (it is) like the non-destructive, incapable of destroying fully (the powers of the soul), (and operates) with the auxiliary help of the trinity body-making (family-determining, and feeling Karmas).
पाउबलेण प्रवहिदि भवस्स इदि णाममाउपुव्वं तु । भवमस्सिय णीचुच्चं इदि गोदं णामपुव्वं तु ॥१८॥
