c8.s2.2

All this may appear to be inconsistent with *Prabhākara’s* own declaration (in *Bṛhatī*, p. 235) to the effect that ‘the Soul is purely the actor and experiencer’; which apparently means that there is no freedom for the Soul from *Action* and *Experience*, so that there can be no Liberation. But there is no real inconsistency; like *Shabara*, *Prabhākara* has confined himself to the *Man of Action*—i.e., the Soul engaged in activity, and has taken no notice of one who has transcended Action.
