is to be understood either to refer to the whole lot of souls that are there or to refer to the possibility of these five types in one particular soul.
The modes characterized by audayika bhāva are accidental, those characterized by the remaining four types of bhāva are natural. 1.
The present aphorism enumerates 53 sub-types of the above five types of bhāva while the next aphorism name these sub-types group by group and tell us as to how many and which modes are characterized by this or that type of bhāva. 2.

Hence these nine modes kevalajñāna etc. are to be treated as characterized by kṣāyika bhāva. 4.
The Sub-types of Kṣāyopaśamika-bhāva :
Mati-jñāna, śruta-jñāna, avadhi-jñāna, and manahparyāyajñāna result from a ksayopaśama of the mati-jñānāvarana karma, śruta-jñānāvaraṇa karma, avadhi-jñānāvarana karma and manahparyāya-jñānāvaraṇa karma respectively; false mati-jñāna, false
