Verse 46 quality," refer to indistinctness (ananyapana). The form-of-speech applies also to the sixfold factors-of-action (karaka): 1) the doer (karta), 2) the activity (karma), 3) the instrument (karana), 4) the bestowal (sampradana), 5) the dislodgement (apadana), and 6) the substratum (adhikarana). When it refers to distinctness (anyapana), the form-of-speech can be exemplified as: "The man named Devadatta plucks, with the help of the hook, the fruit from the tree in the garden for Dhanadatta." Here Devadatta is the doer (karta), fruit is the activity (karma), the hook is the instrument (karana), Dhanadatta is the bestowal (sampradana), the tree is the dislodgement (apadana), and the garden is the substratum (adhikarana).

When it refers to indistinctness (ananyapana), the form-of-speech can be exemplified as: "The soul attains omniscience (kevalajnana) depending on the self, concentrating on own knowledge-character, through its own knowledge-character, thereby attaining pureconsciousness, destroying impure subsidential-knowledge, and infinite knowledge and energy are manifested in the soul itself." The soul attains omniscience (kevalajnana) depending on the self; the soul is the doer (karta). The soul's concentration on its own knowledge character is the activity; the soul, therefore, is the activity (karma). Through its own knowledge-character the soul attains omniscience and, therefore, the soul is the instrument (karana). The soul engrossed in pure consciousness imparts pure consciousness to self; the soul, therefore, is the bestowal (sampradana). As the soul gets established in its pure nature the destruction of impure subsidential knowledge, etc., takes place and, therefore, the soul is the dislodgement (apadana). The attributes of infinite knowledge and energy are manifested in the soul itself; the soul, therefore, is the substratum (adhikarana). Here, all six factors-of-action (karaka) exhibit indistinctness (ananyapana). The shape (samsthana) may refer to distinctness (anyapana) as well as indistinctness (ananyapana) between the substance (dravya) and its qualities (guna). When it refers to distinctness (anyapana), the shape 103
