जीवो पाणणिबद्धो बद्धो मोहादिएहिं कम्मेहिं । उवभुंजं कम्मफलं बज्झदि अण्णेहिं कम्मेहिं ॥2-561

The effect is as per the cause; caused by the material-karmas, the life-essentials (prāna), the effect, too, are material. On attaining these life-essentials (prāna), as the soul experiences the fruition of the bound karmas, it again binds itself with new material-karmas.
