D. C. Due to the lack of the distinction between the resort and the resorted, Siddhas do not possess a body. Where there is no body, no question either of duration of life or death or of the seven Karmas (actions) can arise at all. Similarly, when there are no Karmas (actions), there does not ensue the question of re-birth in the mundane life, and, therefore, there cannot be any vital airs or originating places in their case But, then, what about their condition? They have a beginning, for there is a time of their origination. But they have no end for there is no possibility of their stumbling or falling down from there
This peculiarity of their state is proclaimed in the Sakrastava of the Jaina Agamas (Scriptures). In a word, what is meant is this, have that the Siddhas no body, and hence there are no vital airs, no originating places no births and rebirths, no life-limit, no Karmas, and no other conditions in the case of the Siddhas, as are inevitable in the case of the Samsări (transmigrating) souls 48.
