nor gives up the external substances. The fire has its own nature; it neither takes in nor gives up the iron ball. The rule is that only the substance (dravya) that causes transformation can take in or give up the substance. The soul (jīva) does not cause transformation in the substance of matter (pudgala).

It is then taken in by the particles of material-karmas, and is also given up by these particles of material-karmas on fruition.
