    Knowledgeable men aver that, for sure, soul-modification (ātmapariṇāma) is the cause of merit (puṇya) as well as demerit (pāpa). Therefore, (through pious soul-modification) you should destroy demerit (previously accumulated and fresh) and accumulate merit.

        Note 1:

        Explanatory note:

         

        Ācārya Umāsvāmī’s Tattvārthasūtra:

         

        Auspicious activity – śubhayoga – is the cause of merit (puṇya) and inauspicious activity – aśubhayoga – is the cause of demerit (pāpa).
