## Thui Adhy
**The Great Lord Mahavira, having expounded the unsurpassed, supreme Dharma, was meditating on the unsurpassed, supreme meditation.**
His meditation was pure, free from any blemish, like the purest white substance. It was solitary, pure, and white, like a conch shell and the moon.
**He meditates.**
**Pure, white, free from blemish, white, solitary, pure, and white like a conch shell and the moon.**
**Commentary:**
There is no other Dharma superior to this, hence it is called the unsurpassed Dharma. Having expounded this supreme Dharma, the Great Lord Mahavira was meditating on the supreme meditation. Indeed, the Great Lord, having attained knowledge, was meditating on the third aspect of white meditation, called *sukshmakriya-pratipata*, while restraining the subtle body yoga in the state of *yoga-nirodha*. When the yogas were restrained, he was engaged in the fourth aspect of white meditation, called *vyupara-kriya-nivritta*. This is what is being shown: the meditation is pure, like the purest white substance, free from blemish, free from impurities, pure, like pure gold, or like the foam of water, which is pure and free from impurities. It is solitary, pure, and white, like a conch shell and the moon. The Great Lord Mahavira was meditating on the two aspects of the unsurpassed meditation.
## Chhaya
**The Great Sage, the supreme, having purified all karmas, attained the supreme liberation, which has a beginning but no end, through knowledge, conduct, and insight.**
**Commentary:**
The Great Lord, after attaining the fourth aspect of white meditation, which is established in the state of *shaileshya*, attained the fifth state, the state of liberation. The commentary explains the state of liberation: It is unsurpassed, because it is supreme and because it is the highest state in the world. It is the supreme, because it is the primary state. The Great Sage, because his body was purified by intense austerities, purified all karmas, including the *jnana-avaran* (veil of knowledge), through his unique knowledge, insight, and conduct, and attained the state of liberation, which is characterized by destruction.
Again, the commentary praises the Great Lord through an example:
