________________ १. जीवा द्विधा । तृतीयः प्रकाशः LUSTRE III 1. jīvā dvidhä. (Aph.) Souls are classifiable under two heads. (I) १. संसारिणः सिद्धाश्व । संसरन्ति भवान्तरमिति संसारिणः, तदपरे सिद्धा: । 2. samsariṇaḥ siddhaś ca. samsaranti bhavāntaram iti samsariṇaḥ, tadapare siddhāḥ. (Aph.) Subject to metempsychosis and emancipated (from it). (II) (Gloss) Those which move from birth to birth are subject to metempsychosis. The others are emancipated. ३. १. संसारिणस्त्रसस्थावराः । हिताहितप्रवृत्तिनिवृत्त्यर्थं गमनशोलास्त्रसाः, तदितरे स्थावराः । 3. samsāriņas trasa-sthāvarāḥ. hitahitapravṛttinivṛttyarthaṁ gamanaśīlās trasāḥ, taditare sthā varāḥ. (Aph.) (Souls) subject to metempsychosis can be mobile as well as immobile. (III) (Gloss) Those which can move for the sake of accepting what is wholesome, and rejecting what is unwholesome are mobile. The others are called immobile. (Note) The word 'samsarin' is derived from sam+VS+in. Sam means again and again; sy means to go or move, and thus 'samsarin' literally means that which is capable of repeated movement-voluntary or involuntary. The word, on the whole, stands for those individual souls which move from one birth to another. Birth is followed by death, and death again by birth until the karmic bondage is exhausted. There are individuals in transmigration who are found to be confined in a physical organism which is fixed, stationary, and incapable of locomotion, though they need Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
