________________ Verse 56 subsidence (ksayopasama), as in case of the water, which, owing to the presence of clearing nuts, becomes clear as well as muddy in different parts. When the same water is poured into another vessel it becomes completely free from mud. In the same way, complete removal of the karmic matter is destruction (ksaya). The essential nature (svarupa) of the soul, irrespective of the karmic matter, is its inherent nature or capacity - parinama. Thus, the five distinctive characteristics - guna, svatattva - of the soul (jiva) are the five dispositions (bhava) of rising (audayika), subsidential (aupasamika), destruction-cum-subsidential (ksayopasamika), destructional (ksayika), and inherent-nature (parinamika). Among these five, the first four are contingent on the karmas. Although in the destructional (ksayika) state, there is no existence (satta) of the karmas, but since it is the result of the destruction (ksaya) of all karmas, it is termed as contingent on the karmas. The last - inherent-nature (parinamika) - disposition (bhava) is the own-nature of the soul (jiva). Depending on the karmas and their particular nature, and on the soul's different dispositions, these five have been detailed further as of different kinds. Acarya Umasvami's Tattvarthasutra: औपशमिकक्षायिकौ भावौ मिश्रश्च जीवस्य स्वतत्त्वमौदयिकपारिणामिकौ a 112-811 जीव के औपशमिक और क्षायिक भाव और मिश्र तथा औदयिक और पारिणामिक - ये पाँच भाव निजभाव हैं, अर्थात् ये जीव के अतिरिक्त दूसरे में नहीं होते। The distinctive characteristics (svatattva) of the soul (jiva) are the dispositions or thought-activities - bhava - arising from subsidence - upasama, destruction - ksaya, destruction-cumsubsidence - ksayopasama - of karmas, the fruition -udaya - of karmas, and its inherent nature or capacity - parinama. . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . 119
