CHAPTER V
121
remain incorporated only with the karmic body, like a clod of earth without any effect on the Self
COMMENTARY
The previous karmic bondage was caused by nescience, absence of correct knowledge in the Self Presence of nescience produces impure psychic states which facilitate the inflow of karmic materials Thus in this case there are both the bhāväsrava and dravyāsrava But when nescience disappears the Self regains his true nature of pure knowledge, and the impure psychic states have no chance to occur, when these do not occur there is no chance for fresh karmic materials to flow in Thus the Self is left with only the previous karmic materials which got in when favouiable psychic states were present Hence they remain only part and parcel of the kārmana sarıra, absolutely incapable of producing any corresponding impure psychic state Thus in the case of the knowing Self, the Self with pure knowledge, both the asravas, psychic and material, are absent ___ चउविह अणेयभेय बधते णाणदसणगुणेहि।
समये समये जम्हा तेण अबधुत्ति णाणी दु॥१७॥ Chauviha aneyabheyam vandhante nānadamsanagune him Samaye samaye jahma tena avandhutti nānı du (170)
चतुर्विधा अनेकभेद बध्नन्ति ज्ञानदर्शनगुणाभ्याम् ।
समये समये यस्मात् तेनाबन्ध इति ज्ञानी तु ॥१७०॥ 170 The four primary karmic conditions, with their multifarious subdivisions bind the soul every moment as determined by suitable impure qualities of knowledge and perception Hence the Self with right knowledge is not bound by them
जम्हा दु जहण्णादो णाणगुणादो पुणोवि परिणमदि ।
अण्णत्त णाणगुणो तेण दु सो बधगो भणिदो ॥१७॥ Jamhā du jagannādo nānagunādo punovi parinamadı Annattam nānaguno tena du so bandago banido (171)
यस्मात्तु जघन्यात् ज्ञानगुणात् पुनरपि परिणमते ।
अन्यत्व ज्ञानगुण तेन तु स बन्धको भणित ॥१७१॥ 171 When the Self's cognitive quality is at its lowest stage
