प्राकृत-सूकरतमाला।
Of the operations, the mental operations are said by the Jinas to be the most consequential--operations which lead a person to the seventh ( hence the greatest ) hell or to salvation (the highest bliss. )
सवो पुव्व-कयाणं कम्माणं पावए फल-विवागं। अवराहेसु गुणेसु अ निमित्तमित्तं परो होइ ॥ १२२ ॥ सर्वः पूर्वकृतानां कर्मणां प्राप्नोति फलविपाकम् । अपराधेषु गुणेषु च निमित्तमात्रं परो भवति ॥ १२२॥
Men bear the consequences of all deeds done previously : in good or evil others are mere agents.
कत्थावि जीवो बलिओ कत्थवि कम्माई हुंति बलियाई। जीवस्स य कम्मस्स य पुव्वनिबद्धाई वेराई ॥ १२३ ॥ क्वापि जीवो बलिकः क्वापि कर्माणि भवन्ति बलिकानि । जीवस्य च कर्मणश्च पूर्वनिबद्धानि वैराणि ॥ १२३ ॥
In some cases a living being rises superior to the influence of karma, sometimes the Kurma * becomes stronger : the living beings and the Karma wage a perpetual warfare with each other ( lit : the enmity of a soul and its deeds continues through a perpetual series of births. )
* Lit : action : from a Jain point of view-the certain conse quence of acts done in a former life or lives.
