Sumayasūru substance. (tamhi tain uhayamakuvvamto) when neither of them (substance or quality) can be transmuted (so tussa kattā kaham) how can the soul be the producer (kartā) of karma? Annotations :
Reiterating the unchanging and untransgressable cosmic law that each eternal substance, (dravya) exclusively, determines its own modes/states, the author says that interaction of the conscious substance and karmic matter is limited to intermingling but not interpenetration or intermigration of its qualities. By virtue of possessing a universal cosmic quality called ugarulaghutva, each substance eternally retains its own identity inspire of sharing externally the same space and time as well as very intimate mutual interaction.
The soul, being jīvāstikāyathe conscious substance, and its own conscious qualities (jñāna and darśana) are eternally identical with each other and cannot penetrate or migrate into the karmic matter which is another substance pudgalāstikāya with its own qualities and states. It is, therefore, illegitimate to pronounce the soul as the substantive cause (upūdānu kartū) of karma?

आदा पोग्गलदव्वं ववहारणयस्स वत्तव्वं ॥३९॥ uppādedi karedi ya bamdhadi parināmuedi ginhadi ya. ādā poggaludavvam vavahāruņayassa vattavvam..39
जह राया ववहारा दोसगुणणुप्पादगो त्ति आलविदो। तह जीवो ववहारा दव्वगुणणुप्पादगो भणिदो॥४०॥
