________________ Verse 108 The non-soul (ajiva) substances are five: the matter (pudgala), the medium-of-motion (dharma), the medium-of-rest (adharma), the space (akasa), and the time (kala). The soul (jiva) and the non-soul (ajiva) are the two fundamental substances which have their own independent existence (astitva) and nature (svabhava). The other seven objects (padartha, bhava) are due to the intermingling (samyoga) of the soul (iva) and the matter (pudgala). The auspicious (subha) dispositions (bhava) of the soul (jiva), like giving of gifts (dana) or worship of Lord Jina, constitute psychic-merit (bhava-punya); the resulting bondage of the soul (jiva) with pleasantfeeling (satavedaniya) karmas is material-merit (dravya-punya). The inauspicious (asubha) dispositions (bhava) of the soul (jiva), like attachment (raga) and aversion (dvesa), constitute psychic-demerit (bhava-papa); the resulting bondage of the soul (jiva) with unpleasantfeeling (asatavedaniya) karmas is material-demerit (dravya-papa). The dispositions (bhava) of the soul (jiva), tinged with delusion (moha), attachment (raga) and aversion (dvesa), constitute psychicinflux (bhavasrava); the resulting influx (asrava) of the karmas into the soul (jiva) is material-influx (dravyasrava). The stoppage of dispositions (bhava) of the soul (jiva), tinged with delusion (moha), attachment (raga) and aversion (dvesa), constitutes psychic-stoppage (bhavasamvara); the resulting stoppage (samvara) of influx of new karmas into the soul (jiva) is material-stoppage (dravyasamvara). With increasing purity, the soul (jiva) engages in the twelve kinds of austerities (tapa) to subdue the power of and attain dissociation of the already-bound karmas; this is psychic-dissociation (bhavanirjara). The actual dissociation of the karmas is material-dissociation (dravyanirjara). The dispositions (bhava), resulting from delusion (moha), attachment (raga) and aversion (dvesa), which impart greasiness (snigdhata) to the soul (jiva) is the psychic-bondage (bhavabandha). Due to the psychic-bondage (bhavabandha), the soul (jiva) and the karmas get bound with each other, as the particles of dust stick onto the oily body . . . . . . . . . . 211
