SUTRA III. 1. 25.

अन्याधिष्ठिते पूर्ववदभिलापात्॥३.१.२५॥

anyādhiṣṭhite pūrvavadabhilāpāt ..3.1.25..

… Anya, by another soul, … Adhishthite, in what is occupied. … Purvavat, like the previous, in the manner already explained, .. Abhilapat, on account of the scriptural statements.

25. The souls merely cling to plants, which are animated by other souls, and do not become plants, because the statement here is similar to that in the previous cases of ether and so on. — 316.

COMMENTARY

The souls merely cling to the bodies of plants, etc., and do not themselves become these, because these plants, etc., have animating Jivas of their own. The souls are not born there, for the purpose of retributive enjoyment. Why do we say so? Because the present statement is just like the previous one about the soul’s becoming ether and the rest. As the souls do not actually become ether and the rest, but are merely in contact with them, and are in a state of perfect dormancy, without enjoying pleasure and pain, so they are merely in contact with rice, corn, etc., without experiencing pleasure and pain. They are perfectly inactive in that state, and have no experiencing. Where the text intends to declare that the soul experiences pleasure and pain as a result of its Karmas, it uses a different phraseology, as in verse 7 of the Chhandogya, V., 10:

Those, whose conduct has been good, will quickly attain some good birth, the birth of a Brahmana, or a Kshatriya, or a Vaishya. But those whose conduct has been evil, will quickly attain an evil birth, the birth of a (keeper of a) dog, of a (keeper of a) hog, or a Chandala.

Therefore, the souls descending from the Moon-world merely cling to rice, corn, etc., and are not literally born as such.
