Mahapuraanam
Because it is not subject to destruction, it is imperishable (aksharata) and because it is not produced from the superior yugas born from the soul, it is immeasurable (aprameya). || 103 || Because the external and internal impurities are destroyed, it is not considered to have a womb-dwelling (garbhavasati) and because karma and no-karma are destroyed, it does not have heaviness or lightness. || 104 || Because it is established in its own nature by the praiseworthy qualities born from the soul, it is unshakeable (akshobhyatva) and because it is never separate from the qualities of the soul, it is inseparable (avileenatva). || 105 || The form of the previous body, which is not subject to loss and destruction, remains as its form, and that is its ultimate limit (kaastha) and that is its yogaroopatva. || 106 || Its eternal existence on the peak of the three worlds is its lokaagravavas quality and the perfection of all purusharthas is its ultimate perfection (paramasiddhata). || 107 || Thus, what is the use of obtaining other objects for a liberated being who is adorned with all these qualities like knowledge, etc.? That is, nothing. || 108 || This example of a worldly being proves the supreme soul (paramatma) by the method of difference, which is the lord (prabu) and not subject to anyone's rule. Meaning - This example of a worldly being proves that this soul itself becomes the supreme soul. || 109 || Thus, the one whose greatness is revealed by these three examples is the Aapta, and the wise men should follow the opinion of that Aapta. || 110 || In this way, the one who has seen all the traditions and who contemplates the evil in other opinions with arguments is called the best among all Kshatriyas. || 111 || A Kshatriya should protect his awakened intellect by removing it from other directions, i.e., opinions, and placing it on the right path. || 112 || Protecting the soul from the dangers of this world and the next world is called the protection of the soul. Now we will describe the protection of this soul. || 113 || The protection from the dangers of this world, whose characteristic is the protection from dangers like poison, weapons, etc., is well understood by the wise. || 114 ||
