Now the souls are threefold, as denominated vijñānākalāḥ, pralayākalāḥ, and sakalāḥ.[22] (a.) The first are those who are under the influence of mala only, since their actions are cancelled by receiving their proper fruits, or by abstraction, contemplation, and knowledge, and since they have no "fetters" in the form of enjoyments, such as kalā, &c. (which fetters would, however, be the cause of cancelling actions by bringing about their proper fruit). (b.) The second are those who are under the influence of mala and karman, since in their case kalā, &c., are destroyed by mundane destructions, hence their name pralayākala. (c.) The third are those who are bound in the three fetters of mala, māyā, and karman, hence their name sakala. The first class are again subdivided into samāpta-kaluṣāḥ and asamāpta-kaluṣāḥ, according as their inherent corruption is perfectly exhausted or not. The former,—having received the mature penalties of their corruptions,—are now, as foremost of men and worthy of the privilege, raised by Śiva's favour to the rank of the Lords of Knowledge (the Vidyeśvaras), Ananta, and the rest. This ogdoad of the Lords of Knowledge is described in the Bahudaivatya—
