स्निग्ध-रूक्ष गुण से रहित [आत्मा ] जीवद्रव्य [ पौद्गलं कर्म ] पुद्गलीककर्म-वर्गणाओं को [ कथं] कैसे [ बध्नाति ] बांध सकता है?
The atoms (paramāņu) or molecules (skandha), with qualities of taste (rasa), colour (varņa), smell (gandha), and touch (sparsa), of the matter (pudgala), which is with form (mūrta), are able to combine due to their attributes of greasiness or roughness. How can the soul (jīva), which does not have these qualities, form bonds of karmas with the matter (pudgala)?
Explanatory Note: The substance of matter (pudgala-dravya) is with form (mūrta) and due to the attributes of greasiness or roughness its atoms (paramāņu) or molecules (skandha) combine together to form bonds. The soul (jīva) is without-form (amūrta) and does not have the attributes of greasiness or roughness. How can it bond with the matter (pudgala) fit to turn into karmas - kārmāņa-vargaņā? The disciple expresses doubt that on the one hand there are kārmāņa-vargaņā with attributes of greasiness or roughness and on the other hand there is the soul (jīva) without these attributes of greasiness or roughness; how can the two combine together to form bonds?
रूवादिएहिं रहिदो पेच्छदि जाणादि रूवमादीणि । दव्वाणि गुणे य जधा तह बंधो तेण जाणीहि 2-82॥
रूपादिकै रहितः पश्यति जानाति रूपादीनि ।
द्रव्याणि गुणांश्च यथा तथा बन्धस्तेन जानीहि ॥2-82॥ सामान्यार्थ - [रूपादिकैः रहितः] रूपादि से रहित यह आत्मा [ यथा] जैसे [रूपादीनि द्रव्याणि ] रूपादि गुणों वाले घट-पटादि स्वरूप अनेक पुद्गल द्रव्यों
