आत्मनां तत्स्वभावत्वे प्रधानस्यापि संस्थिते ईश्वरस्यापि सन्न्यायाद विशेपोऽधिकृते भवेत् ॥३१२।। almanum luistabhāvatric pradhünasjāpi samsthile /
zsvarasyāpi sannyāyād višeşo'dhikște bhavel ||31211 When it is granted that the varions (individual) souls have got a definite nature of theirs and so also have the prakļli as well as God (got a definite nature of theirs) it becomics Icgically con prebensible how certain souls behave in the was described earlier (i.e. become a Tirthaikara, Ganadhara or Asundakeoalin).
