________________ शुद्धोपयोग अधिकार 12 - THE PURE-COGNITION (dveșa) due to these objects; it neither accepts these nor originates in these. It is, therefore, free from karmic-bondage (karmabandha). Knowledge-activity takes two forms: the activity of knowing - jñaptikriya, and the activity of transformation-by-the-known - jñeyārthapariņamanakriyā. The activity of knowing - jñaptikriya - knows without attachment (rāga) and aversion (dvesa). The activity of transformation-by-the-known - jñeyārthapariņamanakriyā – knows with attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveșa). The activity of knowing - jñaptikriya - does not cause the bondage of karma; the activity of transformation-by-the-known - jñeyārthapariņamanakriyā – causes the bondage of karma.l The Omniscient soul sees and knows all objects-of-knowledge (jñeya), but neither accepts nor rejects these objects-of-knowledge; these do not transform the soul. Ācārya Kundakunda’s Samayasāra: भावो रागादिजुदो जीवेण कदो दु बंधगो होदि । रायादिविप्पमुक्को अबंधगो जाणगो णवरि ॥५-४-१६७॥ जीव के द्वारा किया हुआ रागादियुक्त भाव तो नवीन कर्मों का बंध करने वाला होता है और रागादि से रहित भाव बंध नहीं करता। वह मात्र ज्ञायक है। Dispositions, like attachment (rāga), of the Self result into bondage of fresh karmas. However, the Self rid of such dispositions is free from bondage; he is just the knower. 1 - see Acārya Kundakunda's Pravacanasāra - Essence of the Doctrine, p. 64-65. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 291
