[1013 6 924$ 924. It is said, "Does liberation occur only from the elimination of the pudgalik dravyakarma prakritis, or also from the elimination of the bhavakarma?" This is explained in the following sutra:
And from the absence of the bhavas like auspiciousness, etc., and bhavya-tva. ||3|| $ 925. What happens? "Liberation" is understood. The inclusion of bhavya-tva is for the purpose of negating other parinaamik bhavas. Thus, it is accepted that liberation occurs from the absence of bhavya-tva and auspiciousness, etc., among the parinaamik bhavas.
8926. It is said, "If liberation is promised from the cessation of bhavas, then, similar to the cessation of auspiciousness, etc., bhavas, the cessation of all kshayik bhavas would be attained by the liberated being." This would be the case if no distinction were mentioned. But there is a distinction here, and to establish this exception, the following sutra is said:
Except for kevala-samyak-tva, kevala-jnana, kevala-darshan, and siddha-tva. ||3|| 8927. The word "anyatra" (except) is used in the fifth case. This rule applies to other bhavas except for kevala-samyak-tva, kevala-jnana, kevala-darshan, and siddha-tva. If only these four bhavas remain for the anka-siddhas, then the cessation of ananta-virya, etc., would be attained? There is no fault, because some have it and some don't. Except for these, the existence of the remaining prakritis is by rule. This jiva, through the guna-sthana-krama, eliminates the causes of bondage, and therefore, there is a gradual elimination of new bondage. And, due to the special kind of transformation of the ancient prakritis that are present in existence, there is a gradual decrease in the karmas that are present in existence. Thus, due to the complete separation of all karmas from bondage, this jiva becomes liberated. Here, the word "moksha" (liberation) is used in the sense of the separation of karma, nokarma, and bhavakarma. A samsari jiva is bound, and therefore, he is dependent on something. When his bondage is broken, he becomes liberated, i.e., he attains his own independence. Thus, the nature of liberation is explained.
