## Chapter 96: Description of the Sixfold Substance and the Fivefold Astika
**The use of the term "Uvaogo" is explained in the first nineteen verses.**
**In these nineteen verses, the first verse, "Uvaogo Khulu," indicates the two uses of knowledge and perception.**
**The second verse, "Abhiṇi," explains the eight types of knowledge.**
**The next five verses, starting with "Madinaṇ," describe the five types of perception.**
**The sixth verse, "Micchattā Aṇṇāṇam," explains the three types of ignorance.**
**These eight verses together constitute the verses on the use of knowledge.**
**The next verse, "Dansaṇam Avi," primarily explains the four types of perception, including sight.**
**Thus, the verses on the use of knowledge and perception are completed with the first nine verses, which include five sections.**
**The next ten verses establish the non-difference between the soul and knowledge, based on their shared characteristics, purpose, and other distinctions, using the example of fire and heat.**
**The nature of the soul and knowledge is explained.**
**The soul is defined as the substance that lives, will live, or has lived, characterized by four breaths.**
**Knowledge is defined as the quality that knows objects.**
**The purpose of the soul is to evolve through various stages, including bondage and liberation, without being destroyed.**
**The purpose of knowledge is to simply perceive objects.**
**These are the definitions and purposes of the soul and knowledge in brief.**
**In these ten verses, the first three verses, "Na Vi'appdi," briefly establish the non-difference between the soul and knowledge.**
**The next three verses, "Vavadesa," argue that the difference between substance and qualities is not a contradiction, even though they are distinct.**
**The next two verses, "Na Hi So Samavāyāhim," refute the concept of "Samavāya" (inherence), which is based on the idea that things are present in the same place, like knowledge being present in the soul or cloth being present in the threads.**
**The next two verses, "Vaṇṇarasa," provide an example and explanation of the non-difference between a quality and its possessor.**
**The definition of an example is: "An example is a thing that is accepted without dispute by both the proponent and the opponent, like fire and smoke, or the cause and effect, where the thing is present."**
**The definition of a "Dāṭī" (analogy) is: "An analogy is a thing that is similar to the thing being explained."**
**Thus, the first nine verses have five sections, and the next ten verses have four sections, making a total of nine sections and nineteen verses in this chapter.**
**The next eighteen verses explain the nature of pure souls, which are free from attachment, filled with supreme bliss, and characterized by perfect harmony and tranquility.**
**The first three verses, "Jīvā Aṇāiṇihaṇā," explain the nature of pure souls in general.**
**The next verse, "Udayeṇa," explains the five types of existence, including the arising of the soul.**
**The next eight verses, "Kammam Vedayamāṇo," primarily explain the nature of action.**
**The next verse, "Kamma Kamma Kuvvadi," presents an opposing view.**
**The next seven verses refute the opposing view.**
**The first three verses, "Ogāḍhagāḍha," firmly establish that the soul is not the doer of actions.**
**The next verse, "Jīvā Poggalakāyā," firmly establishes that the soul is the experiencer of the fruits of actions.**
**The next verse, "Tamhā Kammam Kattā," summarizes the nature of the doer and the experiencer.**
