________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha EXPLANATORY NOTE The worldly souls, due to the incessant presence of the cause (karana) - the interplay of the karma-consciousness (bhavakarma) and the material-karmas (dravyakarma) - adopt modes (paryaya) such as the celestial being (deva), the human being (manusya), the infernal being (naraka), and the plants-and-animals (tiryanca), as the effect (karya). This cause (karana) and effect (karya) relationship is not applicable to the liberated souls (Siddha). With utter destruction of the karmaconsciousness (bhavakarma) and the material-karmas (dravyakarma), the soul becomes liberated (Siddha) on its own, without any cause (karana). Further, the modes (paryaya), such as the celestial being (deva), the human being (manusya), the infernal being (naraka), and the plantsand-animals (tiryanca), of the worldly souls become the cause (karana) of the effect (karya) - the karma-consciousness (bhavakarma) and the material-karmas (dravyakarma), and adoption, again, of these modes (paryaya). This cause (karana) and effect (karya) relationship, too, does not apply to the liberated souls (Siddha). With utter destruction of the karma-consciousness (bhavakarma) and the material-karmas (dravyakarma), the soul becomes liberated (Siddha) on its own, and does not produce any effect (karya), like the karma-consciousness (bhavakarma) or the modes (paryaya) of the worldly beings. @ @ . . . .. . 84
