________________ 42 SAMAYASĀRA CHAPTER II AJIVA OR NON-SOUL. Thus after describing the category of jīva, the author takes up now the category of ajīva or non-soul for discussion, First he states the pūrvapakṣa or the prima facie argument of those (bahirātmavādins) who believe that there is no soul besides and beyond the various psychic activities characteristic of the empirical Self. आप्पाणमयाणंता मूढा दु परप्पवादिणो केई । जीवं अज्झवसाणं कम्मं च तहा परूविति ॥ ३९ ॥ appanamayānaitā mūdhā du parappavādino kei. jīvain ajjhavasäņam kammam ca tahā parūvimti (39) आत्मानमजानन्तो मूढास्तु परमात्मवादिनः केचित् । जीवमध्यवसानं कर्म च तथा प्ररूपयन्ति ॥ ३९ ॥ 39. Some of those ignorant people who maintain that the Self is but the non-Self, not knowing the true nature of the Self, assert that the Self is identical with such psychic states as desire, etc. In the same way some others state that the Self is indentical with Karmic matter. अवरे अज्झवसाणेसु तिव्वमंदाणुभावयं जीवं । मण्णंति तहा अवरे णोकम्मं चावि जीवो त्ति ॥ ४० ॥ avare ajjhavasān" su timamamdūņubhavayain jīvam mannamti tahā avare nokammai cūvi jīvotti (40) अपरेऽध्यवसानेषु तीव्रमन्दानुभागकं जीवं ।। मन्यन्ते तथापरे नोकर्म चापि जीव इति ॥४०॥ 40. Others believe the psychic potency which determines the intensity or mildness of conscious states to be the soul. Still others identify the soul with non-karma matter which forms the constituent elements of the various kinds of organic bodies. कम्मस्सुदयं जीवं अवरे कम्माणुभायमिच्छति । तिव्वत्तणमंदत्तणगुणेहि जो सो हवदि जीवो ॥४१।। kammasundayat jivan avare kammānubhāyamicchanti tivratlaramandal lanagunchin_jo so harvadi jivo (41) For Private & Personal Use Only Jain Education International www.jainelibrary.org
