Some identify Jīva (soul) as the intense and mild feelings in the form of Adhyavasāna. Some identify the physical body (Nokarma or quasi-Karma) as Jiva (soul). [40]
Some believe the rise (fruition) of Karma as Jiva (soul). Based on the (wrong] notion of the ability of Jīva becoming intense and mild, some believe that the strength of the fruition of Karma is Jiva. [41]
Some consider the combination of Jīva (which is unknown to them) and Karma as Jiva. Some believe that the association of (eight types of] Karma is Jīva. [42]
