The **Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra** states that a **Ekantvit** is one who knows with certainty the nature of the world and the path to liberation, as taught by the **Tirthankaras**. They believe that this path is the only truth, and there is no other. A **Ekantvit** is also one who knows only liberation or restraint. They are **bound** (having understood and acquired the principles), **Sanchhinna Srot** (having closed the doors of inflow of karma), **Susanyat** (restrained like a tortoise, free from useless bodily actions), **Susamit** (united with the five samitis, having attained the path of liberation), **Susamayak** (well-established in equanimity, seeing the same in friend and foe), and **Atmavad Prapt** (having attained the knowledge of the self). They know the true nature of the soul, which is characterized by its use, is infinite in its extent, capable of contraction and expansion, experiences the fruits of its actions, exists in every body, and is eternal, impermanent, and possesses infinite qualities. A **Vidvan** is one who knows the true nature of all things, not the opposite. For example, some say that the soul is one and pervades the universe because it is the nature of all things. Others believe it is the size of a grain of rice. Still others consider it to be the size of a finger joint. Such beliefs are rejected because they are not supported by evidence. A **Parichhinna Srot** is one who has closed the doors of inflow of karma, which are of two types: **Dravyasrot** and **Bhavasrot**. The former refers to the activities of the senses in their respective objects, while the latter refers to the arising of attachment and aversion when one encounters something favorable or unfavorable in the world of sound, etc. By restraining the senses and preventing attachment and aversion, one closes both types of doors. A **Poojasatkara Labharthi** is one who performs all austerities and other actions only for the sake of liberation, without desiring praise, honor, or benefit. This is why they are called **Dharmarthi**, because their goal is the **Shruta Charitra**-based dharma. They are not motivated by praise or honor, but by dharma, because they understand dharma and its fruits, such as attaining heaven. They are said to have **Niyag** (the path of liberation) or **Uttama Sanayam** (the highest restraint) in their entirety. Such a person is like **Vasi Chandan** (sandalwood), always following equanimity. They are **Dant-Damansheel** (having conquered the senses), **Mokshanugat** (following the path of liberation), and free from attachment to the body. They possess the qualities of **Mahan**, **Shraman**, and **Bhikshu**, which are all synonymous with **Nirgranth**. All these words, though different in form, have the same meaning. In conclusion, the **Sutrakar** says that **Shri Sudharmaswami** told **Jambu Swami** and others to understand and accept what he has said. He emphasizes that there should be no doubt or alternative interpretation, as he has spoken according to the teachings of the **Sarvagya Bhagwan**, who is always engaged in the welfare of others. They liberate beings from the fear of the world.
