SAMAYSARA
COMMENTARY
As a general principle it is maintained that the material karmic conditions, even though present about the Self, are incapable of binding him, unless there is facilitating opportunity, which opportunity is provided by the appearance of psychic states such as attachment Thus it is the psychic state that is the sine quo non of karmic bondage In the case of the right believer this necessary condition is absent, when this is absent even the previously bound karmas, become ineffective When these karmic conditions become ineffective and when there is no chane of fresh inflow of karmic particles, the Self may very well be declared to be without bondage (In the case of vitaraga samyakdrishti) since he is absolutely free from karmic states of attachment, etc, he is necessarily called unbound but in the case of saraga-samyakdrisht, since the impure psychic conditions have not been completely rooted out, the name is still applicable in a figurative
sense
रागो दोसो मोहो य आसवा णत्थि सम्मदिट्ठिस्स । तम्हा आसवभावेण विणा हेदू ण पच्चया होति ॥ १७७॥ Rāgo doso moho ya asavanatthi sammadıtthissa Tahma asavabhävena vina hedu na pachchaya honti रागो द्वेषो मोहश्च आस्रवा न सन्ति सम्यग्दृष्टे । तस्मादास्रवभावेन विना हेतवो न प्रत्यया भवन्ति ॥ १७७॥

In the case of the right believer of the higher or (vitaraga) type there is no inflow of psychic states relating to desire, aversion, and delusion Hence apart from the psychic karmic inflow, the material karmic conditions cannot produce bondage
हे चदुवियप्पो अट्ठवियप्पस कारण होदि ।
सि पय रागादी तेसिमभावे ण बज्झति ॥ १७८ ॥ Hedu chaduviyappo attaviyappassa karanam hodi Tesim piya ragadi tesimabhāvena vajjhanti
