The Doer (Kartā) and the deed (Karma)
particles are bonded by the soul. Such statements may create a belief that the soul is a doer of such bonding. There is nothing wrong in making statements figuratively, there is nothing wrong in making statements in accordance with the relative point of view, and many times it becomes necessary to speak and write statements of the relative point of view, but it is wrong to accept such statements literally.
To avoid any misconception, Ācārya Kundakunda is emphasizing here that a Jiva should not be considered as a doer of any activity of material Kārmika particles.
It may be useful to explain to a common person with the help of a simple example. Therefore, in Gāthā 106, the Ācārya says that though a war is fought by soldiers yet the people say that the war has been fought by the king. With the help of this example, the Ācārya wants to convey the message that many statements are not to be interpreted literally. “The Jñānāvaraṇīya Karma etc., are bonded by the soul," is a similar statement that should not be interpreted literally. It is a statement of the relative point of view. The reality described in stanzas 91, 101, 104, etc., is to be kept in mind while listening or reading such statements given by the relative point of view.
