________________ Verse 42 EXPLANATORY NOTE The soul (atma) is one indivisible whole with pure perception but being bound, from beginningless time, with the perception-obscuring (darsanavaraniya) karmas, its pure perception is overshadowed and takes different forms. Due to destruction-cum-subsidence (ksayopasama) of the perception-covering (darsanavaraniya) karmas of different kinds, ocular-perception (caksudarsana), non-ocularperception (acaksudarsana), and clairvoyant-perception (avadhidarsana) are manifested. Ocular-perception (caksudarsana) perceives, partially and generally, the corporeal (murta) substances (dravya) with the help of the sense-of-sight (caksu-indriya). Nonocular-perception (acaksudarsana) perceives, partially and generally, the corporeal (murta) and the incorporeal (amurta) substances (dravya) with the help of the four senses (other than the sense-ofsight), and the mind (mana). Clairvoyant-perception (avadhidarsana) perceives, partially and generally, but directly - without the help of the senses (indriya) and the mind (mana) - the corporeal (murta) substances (dravya). Perfect-perception (kevaladarsana, ksayika darsana) manifests on total destruction of the perception-obscuring karmas. It is allperceiving and indestructible. . . . . . . . . . . 95
