It means that once one attains liberation, one never has to return from there.
Here it is worth considering why the adjective 'apunaavrtti' (non-return) was used after using the adjectives 'ananta' (infinite) and 'akshta' (imperishable)? The solution is that some philosophers believe that when a liberated soul sees its Tirtha (sacred place) being neglected, it leaves liberation and returns to the world to protect it. This adjective was used to show that this belief is wrong. Just as a seed cannot sprout after being burnt, similarly, a bhavanakur (seed of rebirth) cannot sprout after the karma-bija (seed of karma) is burnt. The implication is that past karma gives rise to new karma, once karma is completely destroyed, new karma cannot arise, and in the absence of karma, rebirth is not possible. In fact, the state of liberation is eternal and infinite. The word 'apunaavrtti' was used to express this meaning.

[ Necessary Sutras
The text 'Namotthunan' is read twice - once with the aim of Arhant Bhagavants and once with the aim of Siddha Bhagavants. When it is read with the aim of Arhants, it is said 'Thaanampaaviukamaanam'. And when the praise of Siddha Bhagavants is done, the text 'Thaanamsampattaanam' is said. The difference in meaning between the two texts is as follows - 'Thaanampaaviukamaanam' means those who aim to attain liberation, those who have a goal. 'Thaanamsampattaanam' means those who have attained liberation.
