Canadharavāda Dravyämūrtvato mukto nityo nabha iva dravyataya , Nanu vibhutādiprasanga evam sati, nānumānāt 143711 (1985)]
Trans.-437 The free ( soul) is everlasting like sky, on account of the incorporeal nature of (its) substance. ( The opponent might object here that ) "In that case, there would be all-pervading characteristic etc as well." (But ) it is not so, because of (an opposite inference ). (1985)
टीका-नित्यो मुक्तात्मा, द्रव्यत्वे सत्यमूर्तत्वात: “दव्वतय ति" यया द्रव्यत्वे सत्यमूर्तत्वाद् नित्यं नमः। आइ-नन्वनेन दृष्टान्तेन व्यापकखाधपि सिध्यति जीवस्य; तथाहि-विमुापकः सर्वगतो जीवः, द्रव्यत्वे सत्यमूर्तत्वात, यथा नमः। तदेवद् न । कुतः ?। सर्वगवत्वबाधकानु मानसद्भावात; तथाहि-त्वपर्यन्तदेहमात्रव्यापको जीवः, तत्रैव तद्वणोपलम्बेः, स्पर्शनवत्, इत्युनुमानाद् बाधते सर्वगतत्वं जीवस्य । एवं " न बध्यते नापि मुच्यते जीवः द्रव्यत्वे सत्यमूर्तत्वात, नमोवत्" इत्यापि दूषणं, "वध्यते पुण्य-पापकर्मणा जीवः, दान-हिंसादि क्रियाणां सफलत्वात, कुष्यादिक्रियावत्, तथा, विघटते सम्यगुपायात् कोऽपि जीव-कर्मसंयोगा, संयोगस्वात, काश्चन-धातुपाषाणसंयोगवत्" इत्याधनुमानात् परिहर्तव्य. मिति ।। ४३७ ।। (१९८५)
D. C.-Like ākāśa dravya, jiva dravya of a free soul is also nitya, because it is a-mürla as a drapya.
Prabhāsa :-~-As you proved rityatva ( in case) of muktaina by the help of the example of sky, the example will lead to prove other characteristics of sky, in muktalmā, say for example like sky, muktālmā is all pervading due to its a-mürtatva. Similarly, it can also be said that jîva dravya has neither bandha nor moksa just as ākāta dravya has none due to a-murtatva. .
Bhagavāna -- It is not proper to establish other characteristics such as vibhuti etc in mu klātmā by the help of the example of sky. Because, there is another inference opposite
