The Doctrines of the Jainas
Freedom from karma. The soul after having got rid of audarika karmana bodies takes the form of a straight line, goes in a moment without touching anything and taking up no space, and then the soul develops into the real form and obtains perfection. (Uttaradhyayana, XXIX, 73; S. Stevenson, Heart of Jainism, p. 206; Cf. the Brahmanical conception of the sthula (gross), suksma (subtle or also called linga) and karmana bodies assumed by the soul].
