Second Chapter
SUTRA 29. एकसमयानिग्रहा ॥२६॥

Note also that in a straight passage of the soul, one samaya is taken in leaving one body and occupying the other. And in the passage, the soul continues to be aharaka, although in the passage itself, it is not necessary for it to attract no-karmic molecules, as it leaves, the molecules already attracted in its last body and will attract a fresh batch in the new body which it is going to put on in the same samaya.
