________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha apparently contradicts the earlier (see verse 19, ante) assertion but, in reality, there is no contradiction. EXPLANATORY NOTE Due to its dispositions or thought-activities (bhava) of five kinds mentioned in the previous verse, the soul (jiva) undergoes transformations. The destruction (vinasa) of its existing state, as a human being, etc., and the origination (utpada) of its non-existing state, as a celestial-being, etc., takes place. The statement appears to be in contradiction with the statement made earlier (see verse 19, ante) which states that the soul (jiva) does not exhibit the destruction (vyaya, nasa) of the existing (sat) and the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat)'. However, it is not so. From the point-of-view of the substance - dravyarthika naya - there is neither the destruction (vyaya, nasa) nor the origination (utpada) of the soul (iva). From the point-of-view of the mode - paryayarthika naya - there is the destruction (vyaya, nasa) and the origination (utpada) of the soul (jiva). Both, the point-of-view of the substance - dravyarthika naya - and the point-of-view of the mode - paryayarthika naya - are relative to each other. Both fit the bill. जीवों के उत्पाद-व्यय का कारण कर्म-उपाधि है - Karmas are the cause of origination and destruction in the souls (jiva) - णेरइयतिरियमणुआ देवा इदि णामसंजुदा पयडी / कुव्वंति सदो णासं असदो भावस्स उप्पादं // 55 // नारकतिर्यङ्मनुष्या देवा इति नामसंयुताः प्रकृतयः / कुर्वन्ति सतो नाशमसतो भावस्योत्पादम् // 55 // . .. . . . . . . . . . .. .. . 116
