The **Panchaastikaya** (five categories of existence) are described as follows:
**203** The **Magmachari** (one who follows the path of liberation) is described as one who has attained certainty in **Nischya** (knowledge), **Vyavahar** (conduct), and **Mokshamarg** (path of liberation). Such a **Bhavya** (evolving soul) is like a **Punḍarīka** (lotus) with many virtues and **vajdi** (goes, proceeds) towards **Nivvāṇapura** (city of liberation), which is characterized by **atyāvāśa** (supreme bliss), **sukha** (happiness), and **anantpaṇā** (infinite qualities), and is the realization of the **śuddhatmā** (pure soul).
What further distinguishes this **Bhavya**? They are **dhīra** (steadfast), meaning they remain steadfast in their **Nischya Ratna Tray** (three jewels of certainty) even during **ghāropaśarga** (severe trials), like the **Pāṇḍavas** (heroes of the Mahabharata).
This is the explanation of **karma-rahittva** (being free from karma) in the second **gāthā** (verse).
Similarly, the seven **pariharagāthās** (verses of refutation) starting with "**Ogāḍhayā**" have been explained in the previous order.
Thus, in the nine **adhikaras** (chapters) on the **Jīvāastikāya** (categories of the soul), including **Prabhutva** (sovereignty) and other topics, the **Jīvā aṇāiṇihaṇā** (the soul is not a destroyer) and the other eighteen **gāthās** collectively explain the **kṛtṛtva** (agency), **bhoktṛtva** (enjoyment), and **karma-samyuktatva** (being connected with karma) together.
**Hindi Summary:**
**Gāthā 70** explains the importance of being free from karma, even after attaining **Prabhutva** (sovereignty).
**General Meaning:**
The **Jina** (liberated soul) teaches that the **Bhavya** (evolving soul) attains the **Mokshamarg** (path of liberation) by following the **Samayagnyāna** (right knowledge) and becoming **dhīra** (steadfast). They overcome **moha** (delusion) and reach **Nivvāṇapura** (city of liberation).
**Specific Meaning:**
The **Bhavya** understands the **Nischya** (knowledge), **Vyavahar** (conduct), and **Mokshamarg** (path of liberation) taught by the **Vītarāga** (free from attachment) and **Sarvajña** (omniscient) **Praṇīta** (liberated soul). They attain **Upasama** (sublimation), **Samyaktva** (right faith), **Kṣayopasama** (sublimation of karma), and **Kṣāyika Samyaktva** (right faith leading to liberation). They remain steadfast in their **Nischya Ratna Tray** (three jewels of certainty) even during **ghāropaśarga** (severe trials), like the **Pāṇḍavas** (heroes of the Mahabharata). They overcome **moha** (delusion) and reach **Nivvāṇapura** (city of liberation), which is characterized by **atyāvāśa** (supreme bliss), **sukha** (happiness), and **anantpaṇā** (infinite qualities), and is the realization of the **śuddhatmā** (pure soul).
