Tattvabhoda -13

Karma – The Actions कर्माणि कतिविधानि सन्तीति चेत् आगामिसञ्चितप्रारब्धभेदेन त्रिविधानि सन्ति । karmāṇi katividhāni santīti cet āgāmisañcitaprārabdhabhedena trividhāni santi . If one is asked-how many kinds of karmas are there, {the reply is} there are three kinds of karmas, viz., agami, sanchita and prarabdha. Agami karma 37. ज्ञानोत्पत्त्यनन्तरं ज्ञानिदेहकृतं पुण्यपापरूपं कर्म यदस्ति तदागामीत्यभिधीयते । jñānotpattyanantaraṃ jñānidehakṛtaṃ puṇyapāparūpaṃ karma yadasti tadāgāmītyabhidhīyate . The results of actions, good or bad performed by the body of the realised soul {jnani} after the dawn of knowledge is known as agami. Sanchita Karma सञ्चितं कर्म किम् ? अनन्तकोटिजन्मनां बीजभूतं सत् यत्कर्मजातं पूर्वार्जितं तिष्ठति तत् सञ्चितं ज्ञेयम् । sañcitaṃ karma kim ? anantakoṭijanmanāṃ bījabhūtaṃ sat yatkarmajātaṃ pūrvārjitaṃ tiṣṭhati tat sañcitaṃ jñeyam . The result of actions performed in {all} previous births which are in seed form to give rise to endless crores of births in future is called Sanchita {accumulated} karma. Prārabdha karma प्रारब्धं कर्म किमिति चेत् । इदं शरीरमुत्पाद्य इह लोके एवं सुखदुःखादिप्रदं यत्कर्म तत्प्रारब्धं भोगेन नष्टं भवति प्रारब्धकर्मणां भोगादेव क्षय इति । prārabdhaṃ karma kimiti cet . idaṃ śarīramutpādya iha loke evaṃ sukhaduḥkhādipradaṃ yatkarma tatprārabdhaṃ bhogena naṣṭaṃ bhavati prārabdhakarmaṇāṃ bhogādeva kṣaya iti . Having given birth to this body, the actions which give result in this very world, in the form of happiness or misery and which can be destroyed only by enjoying or suffering them is called prarabdha karma. Freedom from bondage of actions सञ्चितं कर्म ब्रह्मैवाहमिति निश्चयात्मकज्ञानेन नश्यति ।आगामि कर्म अपि ज्ञानेन नश्यति किंच आगामि कर्मणां नलिनीदलगतजलवत् ज्ञानिनां सम्बन्धो नास्ति । sañcitaṃ karma brahmaivāhamiti niścayātmakajñānena naśyati .āgāmi karma api jñānena naśyati kiṃca āgāmi karmaṇāṃ nalinīdalagatajalavat jñānināṃ sambandho nāsti . Sanchita karma is destroyed by the firm knowledge, ‘I am Brahman’ alone. The agami karma is also destroyed by knowledge and the wise man is not affected by it-as a lotus leaf is not affected by the water on it {padma patram ivambhasa}. 41. किंच ये ज्ञानिनं स्तुवन्ति भजन्ति अर्चयन्ति तान्प्रति ज्ञानिकृतं आगामि पुण्यं गच्छति । ये ज्ञानिनं निन्दन्ति द्विषन्ति दुःखप्रदानं कुर्वन्ति तान्प्रति ज्ञानिकृतं सर्वमागामि क्रियमाणं यदवाच्यं कर्म पापात्मकं तद्गच्छति । सुहृदः पुण्यकृतं दुर्हृदः पापकृत्यं गृह्णन्ति । kiṃca ye jñāninaṃ stuvanti bhajanti arcayanti tānprati jñānikṛtaṃ āgāmi puṇyaṃ gacchati . ye jñāninaṃ nindanti dviṣanti duḥkhapradānaṃ kurvanti tānprati jñānikṛtaṃ sarvamāgāmi kriyamāṇaṃ yadavācyaṃ karma pāpātmakaṃ tadgacchati . suhṛdaḥ puṇyakṛtaṃ durhṛdaḥ pāpakṛtyaṃ gṛhṇanti . Further, to those who praise, serve and worship the wise man, go the results of the actions done by the wise man. To those who criticise, hate or cause pain to the wise man go the results of all unpraiseworthy and sinful actions done by the wise man. Conclusion तथा चात्मवित्संसारं तीर्त्वा ब्रह्मानन्दमिहैव प्राप्नोति । तरति शोकमात्मवित् इति श्रुतेः । तनुं त्यजतु वा काश्यां श्वपचस्य गृहेऽथ वा । ज्ञानसम्प्राप्तिसमये मुक्ताऽसौ विगताशयः । इति स्मृतेश्च ।इति श्रीशङ्करभगवत्पादाचार्यप्रणीतः तत्त्वबोधप्रकरणं समाप्तम् । tathā cātmavitsaṃsāraṃ tīrtvā brahmānandamihaiva prāpnoti . tarati śokamātmavit iti śruteḥ . tanuṃ tyajatu vā kāśyāṃ śvapacasya gṛhe’tha vā . jñānasamprāptisamaye muktā’sau vigatāśayaḥ . iti smṛteśca .iti śrīśaṅkarabhagavatpādācāryapraṇītaḥ tattvabodhaprakaraṇaṃ samāptam . Thus the knower of the self, having crossed samsara, attains supreme bliss here itself. The shruti affirms-the knower of the self goes beyond all sorrow. Let the wise man cast off his body in Kashi or in the house of a dog-eater {it is immaterial} because at the time of gaining knowledge {itself} he is liberated, being freed from all the results of his actions. So assert the smritis too.
