## Second Stage [191]
**166.** The liberated ones, having attained Siddhahood, are beyond the reach of the cycle of births and deaths. They are free from the limitations of body, age, and death.
**167.** Just as there is one Siddha, so there are infinite liberators of the cycle of births and deaths. They are all equal, united, and together they shine brightly.
**168.** The Siddhas, who are established in the right faith, are praised by the liberated ones. They are countless in number and are praised by the liberated ones in all the realms and places.
**169.** The liberated ones, who are the masters of their own bodies, are the masters of their own senses and knowledge. They are like the ocean, the abode of all the treasures. This is the characteristic of the Siddhas.
**170.** The liberated ones, who are the masters of their own knowledge, know all the qualities and characteristics of all beings. They are free from all limitations and are infinite in their knowledge.
**171.** There is no happiness for humans or even for all the gods that is equal to the happiness of the Siddhas. This happiness is beyond all comparison.
**172.** Even the gods, who are full of happiness, who are powerful, who are worshipped, and who are full of virtues, cannot attain the happiness of liberation, even if they go from one heaven to another.
**173.** The happiness of the Siddha is a treasure that is beyond all comparison. It is infinite and is not limited by any space or time.
**174.** Just as a person who is full of desires, enjoys eating and drinking, but is not satisfied, so also a person who is full of desires, cannot be satisfied by any comparison.
**175.** The happiness of the Siddhas is beyond all comparison. There is no comparison for it. It is like the sound of a conch shell, which is unique and cannot be compared to anything else.
**176.** Just as a person who is full of desires, enjoys eating and drinking, but is not satisfied, so also a person who is free from desires, is like the ocean, which is limitless.
**177.** The Siddhas are free from all desires and are always happy. They are like the ocean, which is limitless and always full of water.
**178.** The Siddhas are called Buddhas, Paragaatas, and Paramparagaatas. They are free from all karmas, they are ageless and immortal, and they are always happy.
**179.** The Siddhas are free from all suffering, they are free from the bondage of birth, old age, and death, and they are always happy. They are like the ocean, which is limitless and always full of water.
**191.** The second stage of the liberation of the soul is complete.
