परमार्थसार (महामाहेश्वर अभिनवगुप्त - त्रिक-दर्शन, अद्वैत शैव साधना एवं सान्वय सटीक)

Paramārthasāra of Abhinavagupta 65 अन्त्यः क्षणस्तु तस्मिन् पुण्यां पापां च वा स्थितिं पुष्यन् । मूढानां सहकारीभावं गच्छति गतौ तु न स हेतुः ॥ ९० ॥ 90. Antyaḥ kṣaṇastu tasmin puṇyāṁ pāpāṁ ca vā sthitiṁ puṣyan Mūḍhānāṁ sahakārībhāvaṁ gacchati gatau tu na sa hetuḥ. The last moment in a life, giving rise either to a pietyful or to a sinful situation, becomes the immediate cause of some particular type of rebirth of deluded persons, but it can not cause any transmigration of a jñānin. A particular disposition of mind, created by the psychic situa- tion of a person at the last moment of his life, carries him to rebirth in some particular species where he can satisfy his parti- cular flair for the taste of objective experiences. A person who realizes his nature of purity, divinity, perfectness etc. does not become a victim to any such mental disposition. He is not there- fore driven to rebirth in any abode or any species. येऽपि तदात्मत्वेन विदुः पशुपक्षिसरीसृपादयः स्वगतिम् । तेऽपि पुरातनसम्बोधसंस्कृतास्तां गतिं यान्ति ॥ ९१ ॥ 91. Ye'pi tadātmatvena viduḥ paśu-pakṣi-sarīsṛpādayaḥ svagatim Te'pi purātana-sambodha-saṁskṛtas- tāṁ gatiṁ yānti. Even such lower animals as beasts, birds, snakes etc. who, having deep impression of their previous right knowledge, do visualize their future spiritual evolution and go on moving towards that. Some times even some spiritually elevated beings are born as lower animals on account of some curse etc. They do not often forget their previous position and, visualizing it at the time of death, they build a suitable career and do finally attain spiritual evolution. स्वर्गमयो निरयमयस्तदयं देहान्तरालगः पुरुषः । तद्भङ्गे स्वौचित्याद् देहान्तरयोगमभ्येति ॥ ९२ ॥ 92. Svarga-mayo niraya-mayas- tadayaṁ dehāntarāla-gaḥ puruṣaḥ Tad-bhaṅge svaucityād dehāntara-yogamabhyeti.
