The six-fold category of substance, which has taken on the role of the locus, does not depend on any other factor, but exists in its own right as a six-fold category.
In the same way, the soul, (1) by virtue of its inherent nature as the soul-substance, takes on the role of the agent, (2) by virtue of its power to acquire qualities, takes on the role of the instrument, (3) by virtue of the qualities it acquires, experiences the role of the object, (4) by virtue of its steadfastness even when its previous qualities are destroyed, takes on the role of the separation, (5) by virtue of being the recipient of the qualities that arise (i.e., by virtue of the qualities that arise being given to it), takes on the role of the beneficiary, and (6) by virtue of being the basis of the qualities it possesses, takes on the role of the location - it exists in its own right as a six-fold category, without depending on any other factor. Therefore, it is certain that the soul is not the agent of the karma, and the karma is not the agent of the soul. ||62||
