________________
The different animal instincts, the different soul-soiling emotions, the tempting senses, suffering and wrath, undesirable thoughts and corruption of the faculties of perception and will; these constitute the spring of evil.
Verse 148
Chakravarti Nayanar, A., "Acarya Kundakunda's Pañcāstikāya-Sāra", p. 112-115.
Acārya Samantabhadra's Āptamīmāṁsā:
विशुद्धिसंक्लेशाङ्गं चेत् स्वपरस्थं सुखासुखम् । पुण्यपापास्त्रवौ युक्तौ न चेद्व्यर्थस्तवार्हतः ॥ ९५ ॥
When pleasure and pain in oneself and in others are due to the limbs (anga) of the auspicious kind of disposition (viśuddhi)1, these are causes of the influx of meritorious karmas (punya). When pleasure and pain in oneself and in others are due to the limbs of the inauspicious kind of disposition (samklesa)2, these are causes of the influx of demeritorious karmas (pāpa). O Lord! In your view, if pleasure and pain in oneself and in others are not due to the auspicious or inauspicious kinds of dispositions then there cannot be influx of meritorious or demeritorious karmas; these do not yield any fruit.
Jain, Vijay K. (2016), "Acarya Samantabhadra's Aptamīmāmsā", p. 148.
1 auspicious kind of disposition (viśuddhi) - due to virtuous (dharmya) and pure (śukla) kinds of concentration. There are three limbs (anga) of the auspicious kind of disposition - its cause (kārana), its effect (karya), and its own-nature (svabhāva).
2 inauspicious kind of disposition (saṁklesa) - due to sorrowful (ārta) and cruel (raudra) kinds of concentration. This also has three limbs - its cause (kāraṇa), its effect (karya), and its own-nature (svabhava).
