________________ शुद्धोपयोग अधिकार 12 - THE PURE-COGNITION The soul-substance (jīva-dravya) does not have qualities (guņa) of lifelessness (acetanatva) and corporealness - having a form (mūrtatva) - out of the ten general (sāmānya) qualities mentioned above. It has these eight general (samanya) qualities: existence (astitva), activity or arthakriyā (vastutva), power of changing modes (dravyatua), power of being known (prameyatva), power of maintaining distinction with all other substances (agurulaghutva), having space-points (pradeśavatva), consciousness (cetanatva), and incorporealness - without having a form (amūrtatva). These qualities (guņa) are specific (visesa) to the soul-substance (jīva-dravya) – knowledge (jñāna), perception (darśana), happiness (sukha), strength (vīrya), and consciousness (cetanatua). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 307
