attaining its infinite knowledge-character and, therefore, the soul is the doer (kartā). The soul's concentration on its own knowledgecharacter is the activity; the soul, therefore, is the activity (karma). Through its own knowledge-character the soul attains omniscience and, therefore, the soul is the instrument (karaṇa). The soul engrossed in pure consciousness imparts pure consciousness to self; the soul, therefore, is the bestowal (sampradāna). As the soul gets established in its pure nature at the same time destruction of impure subsidential knowledge etc. takes place and, therefore, the soul is the dislodgement (apādāna). The attributes of infinite knowledge and energy are manifested in the soul itself; the soul, therefore, is the substratum (adhikaraṇa). This way, from the transcendental point of view, the soul itself, without the help of others, is the sixfold factors-of-action (niscaya șațkāraka) in the attainment of omniscience through pure concentration (śuddhopayoga).
