(Aha tujjha) Again, if according to your belief (samsăratthānam jīvāṇam) unemancipated souls in worldly life (vaṇṇādī homti) are absolutely possessed of colour etc. (tamhā) if that is so (samsāratthā jīvā) souls in worldly life (ruvittamāvuṇṇā) would become rūpi (that is assume material form). (Evam) So, (mūḍhamadi) oh, you ignorant one! (tahalakkhaṇena poggaladavvam jīvo) matter is being identified with the soul because material form (rūpatva) is a characteristic only of matter (pudgala), (ya) and (ṇivvāṇamuvagado vi) finally when emancipated (poggalo jīvattam patto) the unconscious matter has become conscious (jīva). Annotations: In these verses, firstly, it is conceded that in the worldly state of existence the souls are not disembodied and, therefore the Jain Education International -: 59 -0 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
