## Explanation of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas
This section primarily focuses on the "Ogaḍhagaḍha" and other verses, which explain the concepts of "Upādāna-Kartāpana" (the agent of creation) and "Bhoktāpana" (the experiencer). There are three verses in this section. Then, there are two verses that explain "Kāpana" (the creator) and "Bhoktāpana" (the experiencer) in a concise manner, starting with the verse "Jīva Poggalakāya". Following these, there are two verses, starting with "Evam Kattā Bhottā", which explain "Bandhaka-Svāmīpana" (the owner of bondage) and "Mokṣa-Svāmīpana" (the owner of liberation). In total, there are seven verses in this section, which address the opposing arguments before presenting the main point.
The first verse states that just as this world is filled with subtle beings (who are pure and possess infinite qualities like omniscience), it is also filled with Pudgalas.
**General Meaning with Anvaya:** (Loko) This world (Sambado) is completely filled (Suhamehi) with subtle (Vādarhiṁ Ya) and gross (Vivihehi) diverse (Tāṇatehiṁ) infinite (Poggalakāyehiṁ) Pudgala skandhas (Ogaḍha Gaḍha Ničito).
**Specific Meaning:** Just as this world is filled with five types of subtle stationary beings like the Earth-body, without any gaps, like a container filled with ink, similarly, this world is filled with countless, diverse, infinite Pudgala skandhas in all its countless regions. The Pudgala skandhas that are worthy of being categorized in this section are also present where the soul is. They are present there without being brought from elsewhere. Further categorizations will be discussed later in the section on bondage. The implication here is that although these categories are densely packed like water where the soul is, they are still worthy of being abandoned. The pure, single-natured, supreme soul, distinct from them, is the only one worthy of being embraced.
**Verse 64**
**Verse 65:** This verse explains the types of karma that arise from the actions of the soul.
**Anvaya:** Attā Kuṇadi Sabhāvam Taththa Gadā Poggalā Sabhāvehi. Gacchaṁti Kammabhāvam Aṇṇoṇṇāva-Gāha-Mavagāḍhā.
**Translation:** The soul creates its own nature, and the Pudgalas, with their own natures, enter into that nature. They become karma-nature, deeply intertwined with each other.
**Explanation:** The soul, in its state of samsara, never abandons its inherent nature of Pariṇāmic Chaitanya (transformative consciousness). Due to its eternal bondage to the Gandha (odor), it is eternally bound by the defilements of Moha (delusion), Raga (attachment), and Dvesha (aversion). It is through these defilements that the soul experiences various states of being. Whenever the soul experiences a state of delusion, attachment, or aversion, it creates a cause for karma. The Pudgalas, with their own natures, enter into the soul's region, intermingling with each other, and become karma-nature.
