## Verse 61: Explanation of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas
Here, the Agama shows that the soul is the doer of its own emotions, and the pudgala karma is not the doer.
**Sanskrit Commentary:**
Verse 61 further strengthens this explanation with the Agama's statement: "The soul, being the doer, does its own nature, which is the form of consciousness." Although pure emotions like omniscience are considered the soul's nature in pure knowledge, in the context of karma being the doer, impure emotions like attachment are also considered the soul's nature. The soul is the doer of its own emotions. However, the pudgala karma is not the doer, according to the Jina's words. This is what should be understood.
Although the doership of impure emotions is established here, they are to be abandoned, and the opposite, pure emotions like infinite bliss, are to be adopted. This is the meaning.
**Hindi Commentary:**
Verse 61: The explanation is further strengthened by the Agama's statement.
Meaning with Anvaya: The soul, being the doer of its own nature, is the doer of its own emotions. The pudgala karma is not the doer. This is the Jina's word, which should be understood.
Special Meaning: Although pure emotions like omniscience are considered the soul's nature in pure knowledge, in the context of karma being the doer, impure emotions like attachment are also considered the soul's nature. The soul is the doer of these impure emotions in the context of impure knowledge. However, the soul cannot be considered the doer of the pudgala karma. This is the Agama of the Jina. The implication here is that although the soul is established as the doer of impure emotions, these impure emotions are to be abandoned, and the opposite, pure emotions like infinite bliss, are to be adopted.
This is how the verse is explained through the Agama's statement.
