The one who describes the six substances and five astikayas is also the doer of his own conscious states. In practice, he is the doer of the karma-bond of the substance. This pudgala substance, being associated with the false views, attachment, etc., related to the jiva, is the doer of its karmic states. Similarly, the jiva is also the doer of attachment, etc., due to the arising of past karma. And this jiva, being alone, without any change, pure consciousness, bliss, and single experience, experiences the opposite of its own supreme consciousness, the impure conscious state, due to the pure knowledge, single nature, and the feeling of the supreme soul principle. It experiences the opposite of the natural, pure, supreme bliss, the fruit of the experience, in the form of worldly happiness and sorrow, the fruit of good or bad karma. This is the meaning. ||68||
In this way, the previous verse mainly spoke of the being who experiences karma. Here, two verses are spoken mainly about the contraction of the statement of both the doer and the experiencer of karma.

Hindi Time Explanation Verse 69 Anvayarth (evam) in this way (svakai karmabhih) by his own karma (karta bhotta bhavan) being the doer and experiencer (atma) the soul (mohasanchannah) being covered by delusion (param aparam sansaram) in the finite or infinite world (hindate) wanders.
Commentary - This is an explanation of the dominant quality of the power of the soul due to its association with karma.
In this way, due to the manifested power of the soul, which has taken the authority of being the doer and experiencer through its own karma, this soul, due to its being covered by the delusion of the beginningless, has given rise to opposite attachment, and the light of right knowledge has been extinguished, therefore, it wanders in the finite or infinite world. ||69||
