देशेन यः सब्चितकर्मणां क्षयः, सा निर्जरा प्राज्ञजनैनिवेदिता । स्यात्सर्वथेयं यदि सर्वकर्मणां, मुक्तिस्तदा तस्य जनस्य सम्भवेत् ॥३७॥
Meaning :- It is called Nirjara, Karmic Dissipation when the Karmas, which have come into rise through the Karmic Aggregate, have all been shedded off after they have been experienced. It has two varieties, namely, that which is partial and that which is total. That is called partial Karmic Dissipation when certain portion of the Karmas such as the knowledge-obstructing etc. has been shedded off and that is called total Karmic Dissipation when all those Karmas have been entirely extirpated from their very roots. Partial Karmic Dissipation takes place at every Samaya, while the total one takes place only at the time when one is about to get final freedom. (67)
