________________ अध्याय-६ (vīryāntarāya) karmas. Speech-activity (vacanayoga) sets vibration in the space-points (pradeśa) of the soul (ātmā) by the mode (paryāya) of speech, on attainment of the capacity for speech due to rise of the physique-making name-karma (śarīra nāmakarma) on assimilation of the karmic-matter-fit-to-turn-into-speech (vacanavargaņā), consequent on destruction-cum-subsidence of the energy-obstructive (vīryāntarāya) and sensory-and-words-covering (matyakşarāvaraņa) karmas. Thought-activity (manoyoga) sets vibration in the spacepoints (pradeśa) of the soul (ātmā) on the availabilty of the internal cause of destruction-cum-subsidence of the energy-obstructive (vīryāntarāya) and quasi-sense-covering (noindriyāvaraņa) karmas and the external cause of assimilation of the karmic-matter-f turn-into-thought (manovargaņā). Know that the vibration in the space-points (pradeśa) of the soul (ātmā) of the Omniscient-withvibration (sayogakevalī) due to the three kinds of the karmic-matterfit-to-turn-into-karmas (vargaņā) also is 'yoga', even though his energy-obstructive (vīryāntarāya) and knowledge-obscuring (jñānāvarana) karmas have been destroyed. The threefold nature of activity – yoga - is admitted. But what is the mark (laksana) of influx (asrava)? For the worldly souls, yoga' is influx (āsrava). H 318d: 112 11 [A: ] E [ 3116a: ] 341aa The activity of the body, the speech, and the mind - the ‘yoga' - is the influx (āsrava). Just as the gate from which the water flows into the lake is called ‘āsrava', similarly the activity or 'yoga', which is the conduit for the flow of karmic matter into the soul, is called the influx (āsrava). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 233
