has been recognised by the Jaina Savants as the determinant of the course of the Jiva can be supported by a few citations as follows:
(1) ātmatvenāvisiṣṭasya vaicitryān tasya yadvaśāt narādirupam taccitram adṛṣṭam karmasanjñitam
-Sāstravārtā Samuccaya by Acarya Haribhadrasuri
Individual embodied souls are the same from the point of view of soulness, but the main reason due to which various diversities such as that of form of men, beast, denizens of heavens and inhabitants of hells, occur is a multiform adṛṣṭa which is designated as karma.
(2) jo tullasahananam phale viseşo na so vina heum kajjattanao goyama ghadovva heu ya se kammam

-Viseṣāvasyaka Bhāṣya by Jinadasagani Ksamasramana
O Gautama! That difference which exists in the fructification in the case of those who have equal means is not without a cause (hetu), since it is a deed (karya) as in the case with a pitcher. That cause is
karma.
(3) yeşām bhrubhangamatrena bhajyante parvata api tairaho karmavaisamye bhūpairbhikṣāpi näpyate jāti caturyachhinnopi karmanyabhyudayāvahe kşanādranko'pi rājā syāt chatrachannadiagantara
-Karmavipakacintanaṣtakam by Yasovijaya
It is a wonder that those kings with the angry contraction of whose eye-brows even mountains break failed to get even a humble meal in beggary when the operations of their karma come into force.
When the series of fortunate karmas come into force even a pauper who is devoid of noble birth and intellectual equipment becomes an emperor under whose royal umbrella all the quarters receive protection.
(4) vyāpāramātrāt phaladam nisphalam mahato'vāpi ca ato yat karma tad daivam citra jñeyam hitahitam
- Yogabindu by Acharya Haribhadrasuri
