________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha आकाशादि में निश्चय से अचेतनत्व-सामान्य - The non-soul (ajiva), like the space (akasa), do not possess consciousness (cetanatva) - सुहदुक्खजाणणा वा हिदपरियम्मं च अहिदभीरुत्तं / जस्स ण विज्जदि णिच्चं तं समणा विंति अज्जीवं // 125 // सुखदुःखज्ञानं वा हिपरिकर्म चाहितभीरुत्वम् / यस्य न विद्यते नित्यं तं श्रमणा विंदंत्यजीवम् // 125 // अन्वयार्थ - [सुखदुःखज्ञानं वा] सुख-दु:ख का ज्ञान, [हितपरिकर्म ] हित का उद्यम [चः] और [ अहितभीरुत्वम् ] अहित का भय - [यस्य नित्यं न विद्यते ] ये जिसके कभी नहीं होते, [ तम्] उसको [ श्रमणाः ] श्रमण [अजीवम् विदंति ] अजीव कहते हैं। The ascetics (sramana) call it the non-soul (ajiva) which does not have the knowledge of happiness (sukha) and misery (duhkha), does not engage in activities considered favourable, and does not engender fear for activities considered unfavourable. EXPLANATORY NOTE The non-soul (ajiva) substances (dravya), like the space (akasa), do not ever attain these qualities associated with consciousness (cetanatva): the knowledge of happiness (sukha) and misery (duhkha), the ability to engage in activities considered favourable, and to fear activities considered unfavourable. This establishes that, being altogether rid of these qualities associated with consciousness (cetanatva), the non-souls (ajiva) are without consciousness. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 236
