Pravacanasāra
The soul that has become pristine through pure-cognition (Suddhopayoga), and has washed away, by own effort, the dirt of the obscuring - knowledge-obscuring (jñānavaraṇīya) and faithobscuring (darśanāvaraṇīya) - along with the obstructive (antarāya) and the deluding (mohanīya) karmas, comprehends fully all objects-of-knowledge (jñeya).
Explanatory Note: Only the soul established in pure-cognition (Suddhopayoga) attains, on destruction of four inimical karmas, omniscience (kevalajñāna) that knows fully all objects of the three times (past, present, and future). The nature of the soul is knowledge, and knowledge is coextensive with the objects-ofknowledge (jñeya); knowledge pervades the objects-of-knowledge. Since the objects-of-knowledge are all objects of the three worlds and the three times, it follows that omniscience, the fruit of purecognition (suddhopayoga), knows all objects of the three worlds and the three times.
