Bonding of Karma (Bandha)

of view. (ii) The liberation is attained by those saints who take refuge in
the soul described by the real point of view. Here we explicitly note the importance of the real point of view over the relative point of view in attaining the liberation. This point is further emphasized by Acārya Kundakunda in the next three stanzas. (For details regarding real and relative points of view one may refer to Appendix-5) Question: In the previous two stanzas Ācārya Kundakunda
describes bondage due to Adhyavasāna. Now abruptly he comes to the real and relative points of view. Is there any
connection of this stanza with the previous ones? Answer: The previous two stanzas say that Adhyavasāna or
contemplation, resolution, opinion, logic, reflection, emotion, feeling, etc. leads to Kārmika bonding. In each of these, the basic element is the dependence of soul on others. This dependence of soul on others comes in the area of relative point of view. In the commentary of this stanza Ācārya Amstacandra as well as Ācārya Jayasena writes that the real point of view means refuge in the Self and the relative point of view means refuge in non-Self. In other words, there is a close connection between Adhyavasāna and the relative point of view. वदसमिदीगुत्तीओ सीलतव जिणवरेहि पण्णत्तं । grodat fa 37402 3uurruft fuesfest 1127311 मोक्खं असद्दतो अभवियसत्तो दु जो अधीएज्ज। GTC U Triple qui hedha TV 1127411 सद्दहदि य पत्तेदि य रोचेदि य तह पुणो य फासेदि । Etro MORHEIU GHI HFCUPOTTAR 1127511 Vadasamidīguttio sīlatava jiņavarehim pannattam.
