________________ 420 Jinabhadra Gani's [The ninth D. C.- These verses have already been explained in details in the Second Ganadhara-vāda,f The only point to remember in this connection, is that punya and pāpa, the pariņāma of liva and Karma, could be inferred from kārana and kärya. These two inferences are explained as follows: (1) Rāraṇānumana:-- Just as in case of working of agriculture, rice, barley, and wheat etc. are reaped as crops Kāryas) at the end, punya and pāpa are also reaped as the variņāmas of Jiva and Karma with actions like munificence etc. or violence etc. as their respective causes.

The karma therefore has two types:--Punya and păpa. Good forms are the results of punya and ugly ones are the results of pāpa. Hence it is said:-- Iha dřştahétvasambhavikāryaviseşāt kulälayatna iva i Hétvantaramanumeyam tat Karma śubhā'-subham kartuḥ "" So, like Agnibhūtı, you, too, shall have to accept the existence of Karma putting faith into the words of me--the † Vide pp. 86 to 137 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
