Chapter - 8 kattā hodi nādavvo) it must be believed that the soul continues the bondage of karma.
(Ādhākammādīyā je ime poggaladavvassa dosā) Adhākarma and the like are the transgressions determined by material substance; (te ņāņi kiha kuvvadi je du niccam parādavvaguna) how can an enlightened sage perpetrate them when these are aliens?
