The distinctive characteristics of the soul are the dispositions (thoughtactivities) arising from subsidence, destruction, destruction-cumsubsidence of karmas (mi ra), the rise of karmas (audayika) and the inherent-nature/innate-nature (p rin mika) or capacity of the soul.
How many and which are the dispositions (thought-activities) of the soul? There are five dispositions of the soul arising out of subsidence (aupa amika), destruction (ks yika destruction-cum-subsidence of karmas (mi ra), rise / activation of karmas (audayika) and finally the inherent-nature (p rin mika) of the soul.

What is meant by destruction-cum-subsidence disposition?
The disposition of the soul arising out of simultaneous subsidence-cumdestruction of karmas is called mixed disposition e.g. in a glass of water in which mud settled at the bottom and then the mud particles continue coming up and mixing with clean water at the top.
What is meant by subsidence-cum-destruction?
Destruction of the activation tendency of karmas in the present time and subsidence of the karmas likely to be active in the future properly, along
