________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha अन्वयार्थ - [येन] जिससे (आत्मा मुक्त होने पर) [ सर्वं विजानाति ] सर्व को जानता है और [ पश्यति ) देखता है, [ तेन ] उससे [ सः ] वह [ सौख्यम् 37Hafa ] HCM | 37749 cca - [sfa ag ] THT [ 46: जानाति ] भव्य जीव जानता है, [अभव्यसत्त्वः न श्रद्धत्ते ] अभव्य जीव श्रद्धा नहीं करता है। The potential (bhavya) soul (jiva) knows that the omniscience (kevalajnana) knows all and sees all through own-soul (atma) and, through the same soul (atma), enjoys happiness. The non-potential (abhavya) soul (jiva) does not have such faith (sraddha). EXPLANATORY NOTE The verse rules out the attainment of liberation (moksa) by all souls. The real cause of happiness is the non-perversion of the own-nature (svabhava) of the soul (atma). The own-nature (svabhava) of the soul (atma) is knowledge (jnana) and perception (darsana). When these are challenged, the own-nature (svabhava) of the soul gets perverted. Liberation means the absence of perversion. With the absence of perversion in the state of liberation (moksa), the soul enjoys ineffable, indestructible and unwavering happiness. The potential (bhavya) soul (jiva) knows this and engenders such disposition (bhava); it only is worthy of attaining liberation (moksa). The non-potential (abhavya) soul (jiva) does not engender such disposition (bhava); it, therefore, is not worthy of attaining liberation (moksa). The verse expounds that not all worldly souls (iva) are worthy of attaining liberation (moksa). 312
