## Sixth Karma Granth
For the subsidence of the four infinite bonds, the soul performs three actions: Yathapravrittakaran, Apurvakaran, and Anivrittikaran. In Yathapravrittakaran, the state remains the same as before the action. In Apurvakaran, many actions like Sthitibandha etc. start happening, hence it is called Apurvakaran. In Anivrittikaran, the purity of the soul is the same as that of a child of the same age, hence it is called Anivrittikaran.
Now, let's explain the above topic in detail. In Yathapravrittakaran, there is an infinite increase in purity at every moment, and the mechanism of auspicious natures like Yantra etc. continues as before. However, Sthitighāt, Rasaghat, Gunashreni, and Gunasankram do not occur because the required purity is not found here. And compared to other souls, in this action, there are countless Lok Praman Parinamas at every moment, which fall into six categories.
These six categories are of two types, with respect to loss and gain: 1. Infinite part loss, 2. Innumerable part loss, 3. Numbered part loss, 4. Numbered quality loss, 5. Innumerable quality loss, and 6. Infinite quality loss.
Auspicious actions bind, and inauspicious actions do not bind. It makes the inauspicious natures four-fold, with two stages, and the auspicious natures two-fold, with four stages. Even in the state of Sthiti, it makes the merit complete and prevents any further Sthitibandha, making it less than the previous Sthitibandha in terms of number.

1. Yathapravrittakaran is also known as Purvapravrittakaran. In the Digambar tradition, Yathapravrittakaran is called Adhapravrittakaran.
2. It does not cause Sthitighāt, Rasaghat, Gunashreni, or Gunasankram, due to the absence of the required purity.
