Jiva - AncientVoice

Mbh.7.198.11299	Two birds viz, Iswara and Jiva, four Aswatthas with their wordy branches viz, the Vedas, the seven guardians viz, the five essences or elements and the heart and the understanding, and the ten others that hold this city viz, the ten senses that constitute the body, have all been created by thee, but thou art separate from and independent of them.
Mbh.12.212.12875	That, again, which is the seed of such knowledge is called the Jiva or Chit-Soul
Mbh.12.218.13309	Jiva in course of its downward descent under the influence of Avidya lives here within its cell formed by acts after the manner of a silk-worm residing within its cell made of threads woven by itself.
Mbh.12.238.14741	The senses, the objects of the senses, the attributes of those objects represented by the word nature, knowledge, mind, the vital breaths, and Jiva dwell in the bodies of all embodied creatures
Mbh.12.244.15101	Jiva, occupying a portion of that capacious unconsciousness gratifies the deities.
Mbh.12.244.15103	Endued with effulgence as also with the principle of eternity, Jiva is without a beginning.
Mbh.12.251.15397	The Soul which, as already said, is infinite, becomes known as Jiva invested with body or jivatman through consequences derived from acts
Mbh.12.252.15405	The Jiva that dwells in such Yogins, always endued with the seven subtile entities viz, Mahat, consciousness, and the five tanmatras of the five elemental entities, roves in all regions of bliss, freed from decrepitude and death.
Mbh.12.274.16814	These five, and Kala or Jiva, the potencies of past acts, and ignorance, these eight eternal essences are the causes of the birth and destruction of all creatures
Mbh.12.274.16861	This Jiva is no one's relation; there is none again that may be said to belong to him.
Mbh.12.274.16863	This Jiva is never born, nor doth he ever die.
Mbh.12.274.16865	Deprived of body, because freed through the exhaustion of acts from bodies that are the results of merits and demerits, Jiva at last attains to Brahma.
Mbh.12.274.16867	Upon the exhaustion of merit and demerit, when Jiva attains to the status of Brahma they that are learned in the scriptures behold with the eye of the scriptures the attainment of Jiva to the highest end
Mbh.12.278.17027	Jiva equipped with body, O king, is not the author of his merits and demerits or their fruits as represented by happiness and misery.
Mbh.12.278.17029	As the wind impregnated with dust of antimony once again seizes the efflorescence of realgar and though itself destitute of colour assumes the hues of the substances which it has seized and tinges the different points of the compass which represent its own hueless progenitor, viz, space, after the same manner, Jiva, though himself colourless, assumes a hue in consequence of being enveloped by Darkness and variegated by the fruits of action, and travels from body to body making his own stainless and immutable progenitor appear as stained and changeful
Mbh.12.278.17030	When Jiva succeeds in dispelling by means of Knowledge, the Darkness that invests him in consequence of Ignorance, then Immutable Brahma becomes displayed in all His glory.
Mbh.12.279.17083	As a goldsmith purifies the dross of his metal by repeatedly casting it into the fire with very persistent efforts of his own, after the same manner Jiva succeeds in cleaning himself by his course through hundreds of births.
Mbh.12.279.17145	Jiva, O Daitya, having undergone thousands of births derived through the womb, attains to success
Mbh.12.279.17148	The stages of existence, O Daitya, through which Jiva must pass are not unlimited.
Mbh.12.279.17150	In consequence of them Jiva ascends, stays, and falls down as the case may be
Mbh.12.279.17151	The end that is attained by a Jiva of dark flue is very low, for he becomes addicted to acts that lead to hell and then has to rot in hell
Mbh.12.279.17152	The learned say that in consequence of his wickedness, the continuance in such form of a Jiva is measured by many thousands of Kalpas
Mbh.12.279.17153	Having passed many hundred thousands of years in that condition, Jiva then attains to the colour called Tawny and becomes born as an intermediate creature.
Mbh.12.279.17156	When Jiva becomes endued with the quality of Sattwa, he then dispels everything connected with Tamas by the aid of his intelligence, and exerts for achieving what is for his good.
Mbh.12.279.17157	As the result of this, Jiva attains to the colour called Red.
Mbh.12.279.17158	If the quality of Sattwa, however, be not gained, Jiva then travels in a round of rebirths in the world of inert, having attained to the colour called Blue
Mbh.12.279.17159	Having attained to that end viz, Humanity and having been afflicted for the duration of one creation by the bonds born of his own acts, Jiva then attains to the colours called Yellow or becomes a Deity.
Mbh.12.279.17161	Having attained to the Yellow colour, Jiva exists for thousands of Kalpas, sporting as a Deva.
Mbh.12.279.17163	Know that Jiva becomes freed from the hell of acts as represented by heaven or godship.
Mbh.12.279.17164	After the same manner, Jiva gets, off from the other births corresponding with the other colours.
Mbh.12.279.17165	Jiva sports for many long Kalpas in the world of Devas.
Mbh.12.279.17170	I shall tell thee now, O foremost of Asuras, how Jiva succeeds in effecting his Emancipation.
Mbh.12.279.17171	Desirous of Emancipation, Jiva, relying upon seven hundred kinds of acts every one of which is characterised by a predominance of the attribute of Sattwa, gradually courses through Red and Yellow and at last attains to White.
Mbh.12.279.17172	Arrived here, Jiva travels through several regions that are most adorable and that have the Eight well-known regions of felicity beneath them, and all the while pursues that stainless and effulgent form of existence which is Emancipation's self
Mbh.12.279.17191	Enquiring with a cleansed mind, Jiva attains to a high and stainless end.
Mbh.12.284.17709	Thou art Jiva, that is He who is never subject to destruction when uninvested with attributes.
Mbh.12.285.17904	The Understanding, dwelling in Jiva, exists in three states.
Mbh.12.291.18245	Among the six different colours that Jiva attains at different periods of his existence, he who falls away from a superior colour deserves obloquy and censure.
Mbh.12.294.18388	Thousands and thousands of existences are continually revolving in respect of every Jiva, and in every mode of Jiva's existence these must occur
Mbh.12.297.18553	Jiva, after dissolution of the body it inhabited, does not, O king, take birth in a different body immediately.
Mbh.12.298.18651	As the fisherman, when he wishes, raises with the help of his chord his boat sunk in the waters of a river or lake, after the same manner the mind, by the aid of Yoga-contemplation, raises Jiva sunk in the world's ocean and unemancipated from consciousness of body
Mbh.12.299.18777	The body both gross and subtile is the origin of acts, and existence or Jiva is truth'
Mbh.12.303.19102	It is in consequence of this Ignorance that Jiva regards these sorrows to be his and imagines them as pursuing him.
Mbh.12.303.19103	Indeed, O monarch, through that Ignorance it is that Jiva imagines he should anyhow cross those sorrows, and that he should, going into the regions of the gods, enjoy the felicity that awaits all his good acts.
Mbh.12.303.19104	It is through Ignorance that he thinks he should enjoy and endure these delights and these woes here in this world Through Ignorance Jiva thinks, I should secure my happiness.
Mbh.12.303.19112	Being always invested with the idea of meum, Jiva has to make a round of such births.
Mbh.12.303.19113	Millions upon millions of birth have to be gone through by Jiva in the successive forms he assumes, all of which are liable to death.
Mbh.12.303.19122	Jiva imagines that it is he who does the acts of his life and that the senses of knowledge and acts belong to him, although in reality he has no senses.
Mbh.12.304.19132	SECTION CCCV Vasishtha said, It is thus, in consequence of his Ignorance and his association with others that are invested with Ignorance, that Jiva has recourse to millions and millions of births every one of which has dissolution in the end.
Mbh.12.304.19133	In consequence of his transformation into Chit invested with Ignorance, Jiva betakes himself to millions of abodes one of which is liable to end in destruction, among intermediate beings and men and the deities.
Mbh.12.304.19134	In consequence of Ignorance, Jiva, like Chandramas, has to wax and wane thousands and thousands of times.
Mbh.12.304.19135	This is truly the nature of Jiva when invested with ignorance.
Mbh.12.304.19139	After the manner of Chandramas, Jiva too has full sixteen portions.
Mbh.12.304.19142	Invested with Ignorance, Jiva repeatedly and continually takes birth in the fifteen portions named above.
Mbh.12.304.19143	With the eternal and immutable portion on Jiva primal essence become united and this union takes place repeatedly.
Mbh.12.304.19153	Indeed, in consequence of its devotion to Ignorance, Jiva, though characterised by Knowledge becomes repeatedly associated with Ignorance.
Mbh.12.306.19287	Jiva in reality is that very Soul which transcends Prakriti and is beyond the four and twenty topics.
Mbh.12.307.19319	Both Jiva and Prakriti have been said to be Indestructible, and both of them have been said to be Destructible.
Mbh.12.307.19321	Both Prakriti and Jiva are without beginning and without end or destruction.
Mbh.12.307.19327	When the Yogin withdraws and merges all the principles into the Unmanifest Soul or Brahma then the twenty-fifth viz, Jiva or Purusha also, with all those principles disappears into it.
Mbh.12.307.19334	When Jiva ceases to exist in a state of union with Prakriti, then does he become identifiable with Brahma.
Mbh.12.307.19336	Indeed, when Jiva shows no affection for Prakriti and her principles, he then succeeds in beholding the Supreme and having once beheld Him wishes not to fall away from that felicity.
Mbh.12.307.19337	When the knowledge of truth dawns upon him, Jiva begins to lament in this strain: Alas, how foolishly have I acted by falling through ignorance, into this frame composed of Prakriti like a fish entangled in a net!
Mbh.12.307.19370	The twenty-fifth, viz, Jiva, when he thus succeeds in understanding the Supreme, becomes able to cast off the Destructible and attain to identity with that which is Indestructible and which is the essence of all that is auspicious, Destitute of attributes in his true nature and in reality Unmanifest, Jiva becomes invested with what is Manifest and assumes attributes.
Mbh.12.307.19383	In the Yoga philosophy, it is said that Brahma, which is the essence of knowledge without duality, becomes Jiva only when invested with Ignorance.
Mbh.12.308.19384	In the Yoga scriptures, therefore, both Brahma and Jiva are spoken of, SECTION CCCIX Vasishtha said, Listen now to me as I discourse to thee on Buddhas Supreme Soul and Abuddha Jiva which is the dispensation of attributes of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas.
Mbh.12.308.19385	Assuming many forms under the influence of illusion the Supreme Soul, becoming Jiva, regards all those forms as real In consequence of his regarding himself identical with such transformations, Jiva fails to understand the Supreme Soul, for he bears the attributes of Sattwa and Rajas and Tamas and creates and with-draws into himself what he creates.
Mbh.12.308.19386	Ceaselessly for his sport, O monarch, does Jiva undergo modifications, and because he is capable of understanding the action of the Unmanifest, therefore is he called Budhyamana the Comprehender
Mbh.12.308.19389	There is a declaration of the Srutis to the effect that if ever Prakriti does succeed in knowing the twenty-fifth ie, Jiva Prakriti then instead of being something differentiated from Jiva becomes identified with Jiva who is united with her.
Mbh.12.308.19391	In consequence of this viz, his attachment to or union with Prakriti, Jiva or Purusha, who is not manifest and which in his real nature is not subject to modifications, comes to be called as the Unawakened or Ignorant.
Mbh.12.308.19394	The twenty-sixth, however, can know both Jiva and Prakriti, numbering the twenty-fifth and the twenty-fourth respectively.
Mbh.12.308.19396	When Jiva considers himself different from what he truly is ie when he regards himself as fat or lean, fair or dark a Brahmana or a Sudra, it is only then that he fails to know the Supreme Soul and himself and Prakriti with which he is united.
Mbh.12.308.19397	When Jiva succeeds in understanding Prakriti and knowing that she is something different from him then he is said to be restored to his true nature and then does he attain to that high understanding which is pure and stainless and which is concerned with Brahma.
Mbh.12.308.19398	When Jiva succeeds, O tiger among kings, in attaining to that excellent understanding, he then attains to that Pure Knowledge without duality which is called the twenty-sixth or Brahma.
Mbh.12.308.19400	When Jiva succeeds in knowing Prakriti which is unintelligent and subject to the action of the three attributes of Sattwa, and Rajas and Tamas, he then becomes destitute of attributes himself.
Mbh.12.308.19402	The learned say that when he is freed from the attributes of Sattwa and Rajas and Tamas and united in the nature with the Supreme Soul then does Jiva become identified with that Soul.
Mbh.12.308.19405	The wise say that including the Jiva soul there are five and twenty principles in all.
Mbh.12.308.19409	When Jiva comes to regard himself as the twenty-sixth which is divested of decay and destruction, it is then that, without doubt, he succeeds by his own force in attaining to similarity with the twenty-sixth.
Mbh.12.308.19410	Though awakened by the twenty-sixth which is Pure Intelligence, Jiva still becomes subject to Ignorance.
Mbh.12.308.19411	This is the cause of Jiva, multifariousness in respect of forms as explained in the Srutis and the Sankhya scriptures.
Mbh.12.308.19412	When Jiva, who is endued with Chetana and Unintelligent Prakriti, loses all Consciousness of a distinct or individual Self, then does he, losing his multifariousness, resumes his Oneness.
Mbh.12.308.19413	O ruler of Mithila, when Jiva, who is found to be in union with happiness and misery and who is seldom free from the consciousness of Self, succeeds in attaining to a similarity with the Supreme Soul which is beyond the reach of the understanding, then does he becomes freed from virtue and vice.
Mbh.12.308.19414	Indeed, when Jiva, attaining to the twenty-sixth which is Unborn and Puissant and which is dissociated from all attachments, succeeds in comprehending it thoroughly, he himself becomes possessed of puissance and entirely casts off the Unmanifest or Prakriti.
Mbh.12.308.19415	In consequence of understanding the twenty-sixth, the four and twenty principles seems to Jiva to be unsubstantial or of no value.
Mbh.12.308.19416	I have thus told thee, O sinless one, according to the indication of the Srutis, the nature of the Unintelligent or Prakriti, and of Jiva, so also of that which is Pure Knowledge viz, the Supreme Soul, agreeable to the truth.
Mbh.12.308.19449	Bhishma continued, I have thus told thee of high Brahma agreeably to what the great Rishi Vasishtha had said unto king Karala of Janaka's race, by attaining to which the Twenty-fifth or Jiva has never to return.
Mbh.12.308.19450	Jiva, in consequence of his not knowing truly the Supreme Soul which is not subject to decay and death, is obliged to frequently come back into the world.
Mbh.12.308.19451	When, however, Jiva succeeds in acquiring that high knowledge, he has no longer to come back.
Mbh.12.318.19842	The fourth science then that treats of Emancipation, O foremost of kings, and on which I have already discoursed to thee, and which is based upon the twenty-fifth, viz, Jiva, I then expounded to him
Mbh.12.318.19851	The Ignorant Jiva, and the Knowing or Intelligent are both Purusha without attributes for it is Purusha that becomes Jiva when invested with Ignorance.
Mbh.12.318.19898	Prakriti, which is unintelligent, is apprehended by Jiva.
Mbh.12.318.19899	Jiva, however, cannot be apprehended by Prakriti, O Gandharva.
Mbh.12.318.19900	In consequence of Jiva being reflected in Prakriti, the latter is called Pradhana by Sankhyas and Yogins conversant with the original principles as indicated in the Srutis.
Mbh.12.320.20212	Whether the Unmanifest or the Manifest be their cause, or whether the two viz, the Supreme or Purusha and the Manifest or atoms be regarded as their cause, or fourthly, whether the four together viz, the Supreme or Purusha and his Maya and Jiva and Avidya or Ignorance be the cause, they that are conversant with Adhyatma behold Prakriti as the cause of all creatures.
Mbh.12.329.21038	When endued with these four and twenty possessions, one comes to be called by the name of Jiva or Puman.
Mbh.12.331.21203	When Jiva enters that mass of effulgence, he no longer suffers like Shoma who, with the gods, upon the exhaustion of merit, falls down on the Earth and having once more acquired sufficient merit returns to heavens
Mbh.12.339.21849	Without, again, the entrance of Jiva into the body, the mind dwelling within it cannot cause it to move and act.
Mbh.12.339.21850	He that enters the body is possessed of great puissance and is called Jiva.
Mbh.12.339.21857	That illustrious one, viz, Vasudeva, who is called Kshetrajna, and who is freed from attributes, should, O king of kings, be known as the puissant Sankarshana, when he takes birth as Jiva
Mbh.12.344.22856	Passing out of Pradyumna, those foremost of regenerate persons, including both those that are conversant with Sankhya philosophy and those that are devoted to the Supreme deity, then enter Sankarsana who is otherwise called Jiva.
Mbh.12.348.23279	He is the Jiva in all creatures, transcending the five primal elements.
Mbh.12.353.23608	Relying upon the Jiva soul, I wish to achieve existence in the one supreme soul.
Mbh.13.14.1130	He is the prana, he is the mind, and he is Jiva that is invested in the material case.
Mbh.13.14.1206	Know, O Kesava, that this all, consisting of animate and inanimate existences with heaven and other unseen entities, which occur in this world, and which has the all-pervading Lord for their soul, has flowed from Maheswara and has been created by him for enjoyment by Jiva
Mbh.13.16.1586	The Rishi Tandin, desirous of beholding Him who making himself endued with life-breaths, resides in what results from it viz, Jiva, in the form of that effulgence which is called the Mind, passed many years in the practice of the severest austerities, and having succeeded in beholding Him as the reward of those penances, he praised the great God in the following terms'
Mbh.13.17.1798	Thou art he that protects Jiva from the thunderbolt of rebirth.
Mbh.13.17.1948	Thou art the friend of Jiva.
Mbh.13.17.1976	Thou art Jiva whose understanding is directed to things that are the result of the attributes of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas.
Mbh.13.17.2253	Thou art he that unites Jiva with Supreme Brahman through Yoga.
Mbh.13.17.2254	Thou art identifiable with that Yoga which causes such a union between Jiva and Supreme Brahman.
Mbh.13.17.2314	Thou art the bonds of the worlds which bind Jiva.
Mbh.13.17.2613	Thou art he that is of the form of pure joy, being, as thou art, above the five sheathes which the Jiva consists of, viz, the Anna-maya, the Prana-maya, the Mano-maya, the Vijnana-maya, and the Ananda-maya ones.
Mbh.13.17.2642	Thou art the sprout of Jiva, being of the form of Consciousness which springs up after Mahattatwa.
Mbh.13.111.9968	Endued with merit and demerit Jiva after the destruction of this body attains to another.
Mbh.13.111.9969	After the attainment by Jiva of that body, the presiding deities of the five elements once more behold as witnesses all his acts good and bad.
Mbh.13.111.9971	If endued with righteousness, Jiva enjoys happiness.
Mbh.13.111.9973	Yudhishthira said, Thy illustrious self has explained how Righteousness follows Jiva.
Mbh.13.111.9981	Do thou explain how the Jiva that takes birth grows by becoming possessed of body'
Mbh.13.111.9982	Vrihaspati said, As soon as Jiva enters the vital seed, he becomes overwhelmed by the elements already mentioned.
Mbh.13.111.9983	When Jiva becomes disunited therewith, he is said to attain to the other end viz, death.
Mbh.13.111.9984	Endued as Jiva becomes with all those elements, he attains, in consequence thereof, a body.
Mbh.13.111.9987	Yudhishthira said, Leaving off skin and bone and flesh, and becoming destitute of all those elements, in what does Jiva reside, O illustrious one, for enjoying and enduring happiness and misery'
Mbh.13.111.9988	Vrihaspati said, Endued with all his acts, the Jiva quickly enters the vital seed, and utilizing the functional flow of women, takes birth in time, O Bharata.
Mbh.13.111.9989	After birth, the Jiva receives woe and death from the messengers of Yama.
Mbh.13.111.9991	Endued with life, O king, the Jiva in this world, from the moment of his birth, enjoys and endures his own previous acts, depending upon righteousness and its reverse.
Mbh.13.111.9992	If the Jiva, according to the best of his power, follows righteousness from the day of his birth, he then succeeds in enjoying, when reborn, happiness without interruption.
Mbh.13.111.9994	Endued with unrighteousness, the Jiva has to go to the dominions of Yama and suffering great misery there, he has to take birth in an intermediate order of being Listen to me as I tell thee what the different acts are by doing which the diva, stupefied by folly, has to take birth in different orders of being, as declared in the Vedas, the scriptures, and the sacred histories.
Mbh.13.149.12524	He that is well suited to the offerings made unto Him and that has the power to enjoy them properly, the Unrivalled, He that is incapable of being discomfited, He that knows all acts that are done, He that is identical with all acts, He that rests on His own true self LXXIV, LXXXIV the Lord of all the deities, He that is the Refuge of all, the embodiment of the highest felicity, He whose seed is the universe, He that is the source of all things, the day in consequence of His awakening Jiva who is steeped in the sleep of Nescience, the Year, the Snake owing to His being incapable of being seized, the embodiment of Conviction, He that sees all things LXXXV, XCIV the Unborn, the Lord of all creatures, He that has achieved success, He that is Success itself, He that is the beginning of all things in consequence of His being the cause of all things, He that is above deterioration, He that is Righteousness in the form of the bovine bull and the great boar that raised the submerged Earth, He that is of immeasurable soul, He that stands aloof from all kinds of union XCV, CIII He that is Pauaka among the deities called Vasus or, He that dwells in His worshippers.
Mbh.13.149.12531	He whose acts are never futile, He that cleanses those that worship Him, those that hear of Him and those that think of Him, He that is endued with pre-eminent energy and strength, He that transcends Indra in all attributes, He that accepts all His worshippers, He that is the Creation itself in consequence of His being the Causes thereof, He that upholds His self in the same form without being ever subject to birth, growth, or death, He that sustains all creatures in their respective functions in the universe, He that controls the hearts of all creatures CLI, CLXII;

He that scorches all foes; He that is the ever-growing and tall Banian that overtops all other trees; He that is the sacred fig tree Ficus glomerata, Willd; He that is the Ficus religiosa; or, He that is not durable, in consequence of His being all perishable forms in the universe even as he is all the imperishable forms that exist; He that is the slayer of Chanura of the Andhra country DCCCXVII, DCCCXXV; He that is endued with a thousand rays; He that has seven tongues in the forms of Kali, Karali, etc;
Mbh.13.158.13226	When He becomes Jiva He comes to be called Sankarshana.
Mbh.13.167.13798	Thou art Jiva.
Mbh.14.17.523	Enjoying Prakriti for sometime, how does Jiva cast off the particular body which Prakriti gives?
Mbh.14.17.524	How does Jiva, freed from the body, attain to what is different from it viz, Brahman?
Mbh.14.17.529	The Emancipated sage said, Upon the exhaustion of those acts capable of prolonging life and bringing on fame which are done in a particular body that Jiva assumes, the embodied Jiva, with the span of his life shortened, begins to do acts hostile to life and health.
Mbh.14.17.545	In consequence of this, Jiva, feeling great pain, quickly takes leave of its mortal casement.
Mbh.14.17.546	Know, O foremost of regenerate persons, that when the vital parts of the physical organism become thus afflicted, Jiva slips away from the body, overwhelmed with great pain.
Mbh.14.17.555	Deserted by Brahman for Jiva is Brahman, the person is said to be dead.
Mbh.14.17.557	It is the eternal Jiva who creates in the body in those very duets the life-breaths that are generated by food.
Mbh.14.17.561	When those vital parts are pierced, Jiva, rising up, enters the heart of the living creature and restrains the principle of animation without any delay.
Mbh.14.17.564	Jiva then, who has been deprived of everything upon which to stay, is then agitated by the wind.
Mbh.14.17.566	Dissociated from the body, Jiva, however, is surrounded by his acts.
Mbh.14.17.569	Even as men possessed of eyes behold the fire-fly appearing and disappearing amid darkness, men possessed of the eye of knowledge and crowned with success of penances, behold, with spiritual vision, Jiva as he leaves the body, as he is reborn, and as he enters the womb.
Mbh.14.17.570	It is seen that Jiva has three regions assigned to him eternally.
Mbh.14.17.586	I shall, after this, discourse to you on the attainment by Jiva of the condition of residence in the womb.
Mbh.14.18.588	SECTION XVIII The Brahmana said, The acts, good and bad, that a Jiva does are not subject to destruction.
Mbh.14.18.592	The Soul or Jiva, placing the mind ahead, addresses himself to action.
Mbh.14.18.593	Hear then how Jiva, equipt with all his acts and overwhelmed with lust and wrath, enters the womb.
Mbh.14.18.594	The vital seed, mixed with blood, enters the womb of females and becomes the field of Jiva, good or bad, born of his acts.
Mbh.14.18.595	In consequence of his subtlety and the condition of being unmanifest, Jiva does not become attached to anything even after attaining to a body.
Mbh.14.18.597	That viz, Jiva or Brahman is the seed of all creatures.
Mbh.14.18.599	That Jiva, entering all the limbs of the foetus part by part, accepting the attribute of mind, and residing within all the regions that belong to Prana, supports life.
Mbh.14.18.601	As liquified iron, poured into a mould, takes the form of the mould, know that the entrance of Jiva into the foetus is even such.
Mbh.14.18.602	As fire, entering a mass of iron, heats it greatly, do thou know that the manifestation of Jiva in the foetus is such.
Mbh.14.18.604	Whatever acts, good or bad, Jiva does in a former body, have certainly to be enjoyed or endured by him.
Mbh.14.18.605	By such enjoyment and endurance former acts are exhausted, and other acts, again, accumulate, till Jiva succeed in acquiring a knowledge of the duties included in that contemplation which leads to Emancipation.
Mbh.14.18.606	Regarding this, I shall tell thee those acts by which Jiva, O best of men, while coursing through a repeated round of re-births, becomes happy, Gifts, observances of austerity, Brahmacharyya, bearing Brahman according to the ordinances laid down, self-restraint, tranquillity, compassion for all creatures, restraint of passions, abstentions from cruelty as also from appropriating what belongs to others, refraining from doing even mentally all acts that are false and injurious to living creatures on the Earth, reverently serving mother and father, honouring deities and guests, worship of preceptors, pity, purity, constant restraint of all organs, and causing of all good acts, are said to constitute the conduct of the good.
Mbh.14.18.619	By what was the acceptance by Jiva of a body first determined.
Mbh.14.19.691	How does Jiva, exerting himself, bear the body?
Mbh.14.19.700	Jiva beholds the Soul as extracted from the body like the stalk from a blade of Saccharum Munja, when knowledge comes.
Mbh.14.21.776	The knower or Jiva, encased in subtle form, lives within the gross body that is produced by the vital seed.
Mbh.14.31.1255	Urged by that fault, this Jiva fails to attain to freedom from desire.
Mbh.18.5.319	Jiva is eternal.
