समयसार (प्राकृत गाथा एवं हिन्दी-अंग्रेजी व्याख्या)

अध्याय - 2
Or else, if you maintain that the colour etc. of worldly beings are
indistinguishable from the attributes of the souls, then these
souls will be assumed to be endowed with physical form. In this
way, O deluded person, a soul endowed with physical form will be
made up of physical matter and then, not only in its worldly
existence but also in its emancipated state, physical matter will
acquire the status of ajīva.
जीवस्थान जीव नहीं है -
ऍक्कं च दोण्णि तिण्णि य चत्तारि य पंचइंदिया जीवा।
बादरपज्जत्तिदरा पयडीओ णामकम्मस्स॥ (2-27-65)
एदाहि य णिव्वत्ता जीवट्ठाणा दु करणभूदाहिं।
पयडीहिं पोग्गलमइहि ताहि किह भण्णदे जीवो॥ (2-28-66)
एकेन्द्रिय, दोइन्द्रिय, तीनइन्द्रिय, चारइन्द्रिय, पंचेन्द्रिय, बादर, पर्याप्त और इनसे इतर
सूक्ष्म और अपर्याप्त जीव ये नामकर्म की प्रकृतियाँ हैं। इन करणभूत प्रकृतियों से, जो
पौद्गलिक हैं उनमें तो जीवस्थान रचे गये हैं। तब वे जीव किस प्रकार कहे जा सकते
हैं?
Living beings with one, two, three, four, and five senses, gross
and fully developed, and their opposite, subtle and undeveloped,
are classes based on their physique-making karma (nāma
karma). The classes of living beings (jīvasthāna) are the result of
physique-making karma (nāma karma) and since the causal
conditions are physical in nature, how can these be identified
with the nature of the soul?
