    Chapter 5.3 – Bhavābhinandī Jīva (A Rejoicer of worldly existence) [1 of 26]

     

    Till now we dilated upon nature of the avedyasaṃvedyapada. Haribhadrasūri proceeds by stating that such avedyasaṃvedyapada is possessed by a soul who is a rejoicer of worldly existence. In Sanskrit such a soul is called Bhavābhinandī Jīva.[1] Haribhadrasūri defines him as a one who has high regard for transmigration.[2] Here, the word bhava is broadly interpreted as transmigration or worldly existence. However, it is also interpreted as rigid belief for atattva.
