Be that as it may, the Jain sages have made sisting enquiry into the nature and matter of this mithyåtva and found possibilites of its removal through Samvar or Stoppage of the Influx and through Nirjard or gradual dissipation of what already found its way into the soul. With the completion of this dissipation, the soul gets rid of all the veil and covering of Karma and shines in perfect freedom and omniscience enjoying bliss divine for all time to come ; this is what called Moksha of Nirvån or Extinction of all pain and suffering, the grand Summum Bonum of one and all life and living (Vide Chapters XXXII to XXXV).
