[Advaita-l] A query on Jnani's punya and papa distribution

Namaste,

One explanation I have heard is - the karma - good or bad, of a jnani does not have any locus to accumulate as sanchita karma for future enjoyment/suffering.
As such karma cannot be nullified at a samaShThi level, it will attach to the suhRts and dveshis accordingly. 
 
I think this is more a logical explanation and I have not heard of any pramana for the above.

Regards
Venkateswaran
