मुक्ति का क्रम
THE PROCESS OF LIBERATION
१. जया संवरमुक्किट्ठे-जैसे रुई धुनने वाला पुरानी रुई को धुनकर निर्मल बना देता है, जैसे धोबी मैले वस्त्रों को धोकर उज्ज्वल कर देता है, उसी प्रकार संयम साधनारत ज्ञानी श्रमण उत्कृष्ट संवर-धर्म का स्पर्श करता हुआ अज्ञान दशा में किये हुए पापकर्मों का नाश करके आत्मा को निर्मल बना लेता है। ( अध्ययन ४, श्लोक २० )
Illustration No. 9
1. The dirt within old cotton is removed by carding and the dirt on cloth is removed by washing; in the same way a sagacious shraman washes the dirt of karma collected while indulging in sinful activities in the state of ignorance, and purifies his soul. This is done by further advancing into spiritual practices after perfecting the discipline of Samvar (to stop the inflow of karmas by controlling desires). (Chapter 4, verse 20)
२. सेलेसिं पडिवज्जइ - इसके बाद वह श्रमण क्रमशः चार घाति कर्मों का नाश करके केवलज्ञान प्राप्त कर लोकालोक को देखने लगता है । फिर अन्तिम समय में योगों का निरोध करके शैलेषी (पर्वतराज की भाँति स्थिर निष्कम्प) अवस्था को प्राप्त कर चार अघातिया कर्मों का भी क्षय कर डालता है। ( अध्ययन ४, श्लोक २३)
2. After this, that shraman gradually destroys the four ghati karmas (the karmas that have a vitiating effect upon the qualities of the soul), acquires omniscience, and opens up his vision to all inhabited and uninhabited space. When his life-span approaches its end he goes into the shaileshi state, becoming completely immobile like a mountain, and is elevated into the state of absolute inactivity. He now destroys the four Aghati karmas (the karmas that generate embodiment and particular conditions thereof) as well.
(Chapter 4, verse 23)

३. सिद्धिं गच्छइ - शैलेषी अवस्था के पश्चात् श्रमण कर्मरज से रहित होकर लोक के अग्र भाग पर स्थित शाश्वत सिद्धगति को प्राप्त कर लेते हैं । जहाँ अनन्त सिद्ध आत्माएँ ज्योतिस्वरूप में स्थित ( अध्ययन ४, श्लोक २५ )
हैं।
3. As a result of absolute inactivity, even the infinitesimal acquisition of karmas is stopped and the four Aghati-karmas get destroyed. Getting absolutely free of the karmic particles, the shraman attains the immortal siddha state located at the edge of the inhabited universe. This is a hypothetical area in deep space inhabited by innumerable liberated souls in there formless but eternally pulsating existence shown here as flames.
(Chapter 4, verse 25 )
