146. If attachment etc., is produced in the soul by itself, then without the operation of Karmas being auxiliary causes, thought-activity (of impure kind will be produced) in a (pure) soul.
Commentary. Attachment and other impure thought-activities never appear in pure souls. Therefore a soul cannot have them without the influence of deluding Karmas in operation as an important auxiliary cause.
एकस्स दु परिणामो पुग्गलदव्वस्स कम्मभावेण । ता जीवभावहेदूहि विणा कम्मस्स परिणामो ॥ १४७॥ एकस्य तु परिणामः पुद्गलद्रव्यस्य कर्मभावेन । तज्जीवभावहेतुभिर्विना कर्मणः परिणामः ॥ १४७ ॥
147. If the modification into Karmas (of 8 kinds) is (produced) by itself in Karmic matter; then there would be modification into (3) Karmas without the (iimpure) thoughtactivity of the soul being the cause.
Commentary. The soul cannot have impure thought-activity without the auxiliary cause of the operation of material Karmas. Karmic molecules also cannot take the forms of 8 kinds of bondage without the
axiliary cause of soul's impure thought-activity. Impure soul and matter both are auxiliary causes of modification of each other.

Commentary.
The statement that impure thought-activity is due to the soul itself as the primary cause and that the bondage of Karma in souls
