Soul (Jiva) and non-soul (Ajiva)
एदेहि य सम्बन्धो जहेव खीरोदयं मुणेदव्वो। ण य होंति तस्स ताणि दु उवओगगुणाधिगो जम्हा॥57॥ Edehim ya sambandho jaheva khīrodayam munedavvo. Na ya homti tassa tāni du uvaogagunādhigo jamhā.||57||| एतैश्च सम्बन्धो यथैव क्षीरोदकं ज्ञातव्यः। न च भवंति तस्य तानि तूपयोगगुणाधिको यस्मात् ।।57॥
The association of a Jiva (soul) with these [color etc.] characteristics is just like the association of milk with water. A Jīva does not have any of these characteristics. A Jīva differs from these by its Upayoga (knowledge and perception) attribute. [57]
Annotation
Here the combination of Jīva with all 29 characteristics described in stanzas 50 to 55 has been compared with a combination of milk and water. Everyone knows that in the combination of milk and water, the water remains water, the water does not become milk.
In Ātmakhyāti, Ācārya Amstacandra adds an example of heat and fire while explaining this stanza. He explains that heat is always associated with fire. Therefore, we can say that the associated heat is of fire. In the same way, since Upayoga is always associated with soul, we can say that Upayoga is of soul. The milk-water relationship is not like the relationship of heat and fire. Just as water is not of milk or milk is not of water, these 29 characteristics are also not of Jīva (soul).
पंथे मुस्संतं पस्सिदूण लोगा भणंति ववहारी। मुस्सदि एसो पंथो ण य पंथो मुस्सदे कोई।।58॥ तह जीवे कम्माणं णोकम्माणं च पस्सिदुं वण्णं । जीवस्स एस वण्णो जिणेहिं ववहारदो उत्तो॥5॥ गंधरसफासरूवा देहो संठाणमाइया जे य। सव्वे ववहारस्स य णिच्छयदण्हू ववदिसंति॥6॥
