________________ Preface the functioning of dissociation (nirjara) of karmas, the annihilation of all karmas is liberation (moksa). wledge, However, there is no destruction of infinite-faith - kevalasamyaktua, infinite-knowledge - kevalajnana, infinite-perception - kevaladarsana, and infinite-perfection - siddhatva.
