SAMAYSARA
ववहारस्स दु आदा पोग्गलकम्म करेदि अणेयविह ।
त चेव य वेदयदे पोग्गलकम्म अणेयविह ॥८४॥ Vavahārassa du āda poggala kammam karedi aneyaviham Tam cheva ya vedayade poggala kammam aneyaviham (84)
व्यवहारस्य त्वात्मा पुद्गलकर्म करोति अनेकविधम् । '
तच्चैव पुनर्वेदयते पुद्गलकर्मानेकविधम् ॥८४॥ 84 But from the vyavahāra point of view, the Self produces various types of karmic modifications in matter Similarly the various fruits of karmic materials, the Self enjoys

Next the authoi refutes durkrzyāvāda, the doctrine that the same cause can produce two distinct effects
जदि पोग्गलकम्ममिण कुव्वदि त चेव वेदयदि आदा।
दोकिरियावादित्त पसजदि सो जिणावमद ॥८५॥ Jadi poggala kammaminam kuvvadı tam cheva vedayadı ada Do kırıyavāditam pasajadi so jinavamadam
(85) यदि पुदगलकर्मेद करोति तच्चैव वेदयते आत्मा ।
द्विक्रियावादित्व प्रसजतितत् स जिनावमतम् ॥८५॥ 85 If the atma or Self produces these karmic materials (operating as upādāna karta or substantive cause) and enjoys the consequences thereof in the same manner, it will lead to the doctrine
