________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha complete destruction of activity - vyuparatakriyanivarti, also called samucchinnakriyanivarti. This entails complete destruction of activity as there is disappearance of respiration and movement and vibration of the spatial units of the soul, arising from activities (yoga) of the body, the mind and the speech-organ. In this stage of meditation there is complete annihilation of influx (asrava) of all kinds of bondage (of karmas). And in the Omniscient-without-activity - ayogakevali, endowed with the capacity of annihilating all karmas, there arise perfect-conduct (yathakhyata caritra), knowledge (jnana), and faith (darsana), which are capable of destroying all kinds of cobwebs of worldly suffering, and which constitute the immediate cause of complete emancipation or final liberation. Thus, the saint in the fourteenth stage burns all karmas with the powerful fire of concentration, becomes purified like 24-carat gold, freed from dirt and other alloys, and attains eternal bliss. The two kinds of pure meditation (sukladhyana) - suksmakriyapratipati and vyuparatakriyanivarti - cause complete stoppage (samvara) of the new karmas and also dissociation (nirjara) of the old karmas. (see also "Tattvarthasutra', p. 397-398.) With utter destruction of all karmas, the soul gets liberated; it attains liberation (moksa). Liberation implies complete destruction of the material-karmas (dravyakarma), quasi-karmas (nokarma), and psychic-karmas (bhavakarma). The worldly soul is with bondage of karmas; it is thus dependent from a certain point-of-view. The same soul, on utter destruction of all karmas, becomes independent. This explains the liberation (moksa) of the soul. 292
