Karana

'those whose works were bad' (kapûyâ-karanâh), the word karana does not denote good and evil works (i.e. not such works as the Veda on the one hand enjoins as leading to certain rewards, and on the other prohibits, threatening punishment), for, in Vedic as well as ordinary language, the term karana is generally used in the sense of âkâra, i.e. general conduct. ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

The word karana is used in both instances for Brahma as the Supreme Cause of everything. ❋ Kisari Mohan [Translator] Ganguli (N/A)

-- This primâ facie view the Sûtra sets aside, 'not so, because the scriptural term karana connotes works; thus the teacher Kârshnâjini thinks.' ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

As the verb â-kar takes karman for its object (punyam karmâ karati, &c.), and as the separate denotation (i.e. the use of apparently equivalent words, viz. âkar and karman) can be accounted for on the ground that one of them refers to works established by manifest texts, and the other to texts inferred from actually existing rules of good conduct; and as, when the primary meaning is possible, no secondary meaning must be adopted; nothing else but good and evil works (in the Vedic sense) are denoted by the word karana: such is the opinion of the teacher Bâdari. ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

Karya-karana-karttritwa is explained by both Sankara and Sreedhara to mean "the capacity of working (residing) in the body and the senses." ❋ Kisari Mohan [Translator] Ganguli (N/A)

When universal destruction comes, those persons who have succeeded in completely consuming by Knowledge their gross and subtle and karana bodies, always enter into Brahma. ❋ Kisari Mohan [Translator] Ganguli (N/A)

The karana body is a subtiler form of existence than the ❋ Kisari Mohan [Translator] Ganguli (N/A)

The karana bodies are the potentialities, existing in the tanmatra of the elemental substances, of forming diverse kinds of linga bodies in consequence of the acts of Jiva in previous periods of existence. ❋ Kisari Mohan [Translator] Ganguli (N/A)

Vajropamani is explained by the commentator as 'so undying that they are not destroyed at even the universal destruction; hence, of course, the karana bodies.' ❋ Kisari Mohan [Translator] Ganguli (N/A)
