Samayasāra
Chapter - 10 Jains believe that all absolutistic conceptions are vitiated by some defect or other and that they all go against the verdicts of experience. The absolutists, however, dismiss the verdicts of experience as untrustworthy. The author has refuted both absolutist theories of knowledge in the above verses, and established the Jain position in accordance with both ultimate and empirical aspects.
The Characteristic Attributes of the Soul are
totally Absent in the Physical Existence दंसणणाणचरित्तं किंचि वि णत्थि दु अचेदणे विसए।
तम्हा किं घादयदे चेदयिदा तेसु विसएसु॥५९॥ damsananānacarittam kimci vi natthi du acedane visae.
tamhā ķim ghādayade cedayidā tesu visaesu..59 दंसणणाणचरित्तं किंचि वि णथि दु अचेदणे कम्मे।
तम्हा किं घादयदे चेदयिदा तम्मि कम्मम्मि॥६०॥ damsaņaņāņacarittam kimci vi natthi du acedane kamme. tamhā kim ghādayade cedayidā tammi kammammi..60 दसणणाणचरित्तं किंचि वि णत्थि दु अचेदणे काये।
तम्हा किं घादयदे चेदयिदा तेसु कायेसु॥६१॥ damsuņaņāņacarittam kimci vi natthi du acedane kāye.
tamhā kim ghādayade cedayidā tesu kāyesu..61
(Damsaņaņāņacarittam acedane visae du kimci vi natthi) - Since the physical substance (matter) is totally devoid of the triple characteristics-belief [faith), knowledge and conduct-of the soul, (cedayidā tesu visaesu kiin ghādayade) what can then the soul destroy in the physical objects?
(Damsaņaņāņacarittam acedane kamme du kimci vi natthi) Since the karmic matter is totally devoid of the triple characteristics-belief, knowledge and conduct-of the soul, (cedayidā tammi kammammi kim ghādayade) what can then the soul destroy in these karmas?
(Damsaņaņāņacarittam acedane kāye du kimci vi natthi) Since the gross physical body (of a living organism) is totally devoid of the triple characteristics-belief, knowledge, and conduct of the soul, (cedayidā tesu kāyesu kim ghādayade) what can then the soul destroy in these bodies?
