Ācārya Kundakunda’s Rayaņasāra: चउगइसंसारगमणकारणभूयाणि दुक्खहेऊणी । ताणि हवे बहिरप्पा वत्थुसरूवाणि भावाणि ॥
(१४२)
Dispositions of the extroverted-soul (bahirātmā) regarding the nature of reality lead to rebirths in four states of existence, and to suffering.
Ācārya Amitagati’s Yogasāra Prābhrta: देहात्मनोः सदा भेदो भिन्नज्ञानोपलम्भतः । इन्द्रियैर्ज्ञायते देहो नूनमात्मा स्वसंविदा ॥
(९-४८)
There is always a difference between the body and the soul as even the knowledge about the two is obtained from different sources; the body is known with the help of the senses and the soul is known by self-awareness, that is, by the soul itself.
Acārya Pujyapāda's Istopadesa: अविद्वान् पुद्गलद्रव्यं योऽभिनन्दति तस्य तत् । न जातु जन्तोः सामीप्यं चतुर्गतिषु मुञ्चति ॥
(४६)
Believing matter to be soul, the ignorant gets attached to it and, as a result, matter does not leave the soul in its four states of existence (caturgati).
