case of the water, which, owing to the presence of clearing nuts, becomes clear as well as muddy in different parts. The fruition of karmas in the presence of certain causes is fruition (udaya). The essential nature (svarūpa) of the soul, irrespective of the karmic matter, is its inherent nature or capacity - parināma. That disposition (bhāva), which has subsidence as its object or cause, is subsidential (aupaśamika). Similarly with regard to destructional (kṣāyika), destruction-cum-subsidential (ksāyopaśamika), rising (audāyika) and inherent nature (pārināmika). These five dispositions (bhāva) are the distinctive (asādhāraṇa) characteristics - svatattva - of the soul. The subject under consideration is right belief (samyagdarśana).

But the third – mixed disposition of destruction-cumsubsidential (kṣāyopaśamika) - arises in case of the non-potential (abhavya) souls too; the non-potential (abhavya) souls are those not having the inherent capacity for liberation. The last two dispositions (bhāva) arise in case of the potential (bhavya) as well as the nonpotential (abhavya) souls.
