Soul Science: Samayasāra by Jain Ācārya Kundakunda
turbines and other equipments it became electricity. In the language of philosophy, one would see that in this process the energy was the Upādāna cause (substantive cause), and engineers, labor force, etc., are not the causes in the true sense, they are just like instruments and are named as instrumental cause (Nimiita cause).
In the next stanza we would find some description on the basis of the relative point of view.
जीवपरिणामहेदुं कम्मत्तं पोग्गला परिणमति ।
पोग्गलकम्मणिमित्तं तहेव जीवो वि परिणमदि ॥80॥
विकुव्वदिकम्मगुणे जीवो कम्मं तव जीवगुणे । अण्णोणणिमत्तेण दु परिणामं जाण दोहं पि ॥ 81॥
कारण दुत्ता आदा सएण भावेण ।
पोग्गलकम्मकदाणं ण दु कत्ता सव्वभावाणं ॥ 821
Jivapariņāmahedum kammattam poggalā pariņamanti. Poggalakammanimittam taheva jivo vi parinamadi. ||80|| Na vi kuvvadi kammagune jīvo kammam taheva jīvaguṇe. Annonnanimittena du parināmam jāna donham pi. || 81 || Edeņa kāraṇeṇa du kattā ādā saeņa bhāveṇa. Poggalakammakadānam na du kattā savvabhāvānam ||82||

जीवपरिणामहेतुं कर्मत्वं पुदगलाः परिणमति ।
पुद्गलकर्मनिमित्तं तथैव जीवोऽपि परिणमति॥80॥ नापि करोति कर्मगुणान् जीवः कर्म तथैव जीवगुणान् । अन्योन्यनिमित्तेन तु परिणामं जानीहि द्वयोरपि ॥ 81।। एतेन कारणेन तु कर्ता आत्मा स्वकेन भावेन । पुद्गलकर्मकृतानां न तु कर्ता सर्वभावानाम् ॥ 82 ॥
Pudgala (matter/energy) transform into Kärmika matter [of eight kinds] by Nimitta of Jiva's actions. A Jiva also undergoes changes by Nimitta of Pudgala Karma. [80]
Jīva cannot produce any attribute of Karmika matter and Kārmika matter cannot produce any attribute of Jiva. One should learn that in their transformations they are Nimitta to each other [81]
