jñānañca janyate śiṣye sā dīkṣā bhuktimuktidā vijñātakalanāmaiko dvitīyaḥ pralayākalaḥ(1)

and by which knowledge is generated in the disciple: that initiation gives both enjoyment and release. One (kind of soul) is named vijñātakala (the one whose parts are known/the vijñānākala), the second is the pralayākala.

The third is the sakala; in the scripture the one fit to receive grace is held to be of these three kinds. Among them the first is released (from all bonds) except impurity alone, the other by (i.e. is bound by) impurity and karmas,
