INTRODUCTORY
for a soul whose sins have not been destroyed in the least never acquires an understanding that is supremely beneficial.
ततस्तदावे कल्याणमायत्यां तु विशेषतः ।
मन्त्राद्यपि सदा चारु सर्वावस्थाहितं मतम् ॥१०४॥" tatas tadalve kalyāṇam āyatyāṁ tu viseṣataḥl
manträdy api sadā cāru sarvāvasthāhitam matam/|104]["
The acquisition of a supremely beneficial ur derstanding is conducive to welfare at that very moment and even more so at a later time; for even in the case of the ever-auspicious spells etc. we find that they bring benefit to their possessor under all conditions (i.e. at the time of their use as also at other times)."
उभयोस्तत्स्वभावत्वात् तदावर्तनियोगतः ।
युज्यते सर्वमेवैतन्नान्यथेति मनीषिणः ॥ १०५ ॥
ubhayos tatsvabhāvatvāt tadāvartaniyogataḥ yujyate sarvam availan nangatheli maniṣinaḥ ||105||
All this (that has been said by Gopendra) makes sense never except in case it is grauted that both prakṛti and soul possess the respective inherent capacities to behave in the manner they do at the time of the last pudgalavarta-this is the declaraction of wise men.
अत्राप्येतद् विचित्रायाः प्रकृतेर्युज्यते परम् । इत्थमावर्तभेदेन यदि सम्यग्निरूप्यते ॥ १०६ ॥
2:39
atrapy etad vicitrāyāḥ prakṛter yujyate param ittham avartabhedena yadi samyag nirupyate//106//
And even such a behaviour (i.e. a behaviour due to their respective inherent capacities) at the time of the last pudgalavarta is possible only in case a variegated character is attributed to prakṛti-this conclusion follows when matters are properly pondered over.
अन्यथैकस्वभावत्वादधिकारनिवृत्तितः ।
एकस्य सर्वतद्भावो बलादापद्यते सदा ॥ १०७ ॥
anyathaikasvabhāvatvād adhikäranivṛttitaḥ
ekasya sarvatadbhavo balad apadyate sada ||107||
For otherwise one will be maintaining that prakṛti always behave in one and the same fashion and in that case one will be compelled to grant that the prakṛti's refrainment from dominating one soul means, its refrainment from dominating all souls whatsoever.
