Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
Navama Dasha
The conclusion is that until the soul destroys all kinds of karma, it cannot be liberated in any way. Each individual's 'samsara' depends on their karma. As long as even a single karma remains, they cannot be freed from the bondage of birth and death. But when their karma is destroyed, no power can prevent them from enjoying the transcendental bliss of liberation. Therefore, those who desire liberation from the bondage of this cycle of samsara should strive wholeheartedly in this direction. As soon as karma is destroyed, they attain liberation. Remember that this destruction of karma does not happen without knowledge and action; they are absolutely necessary.
Thus, Shri Sudha Swami says to Shri Jambu Swami: "O Jambu! Just as I have heard the meaning of this Dasha from the mouth of Shri Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira Swami, so have I told you. I have not said anything from my own intellect."
