The second major chapter, comprising fifty verses in ten sub-sections, concludes. It expounds on the nine substances, including the soul, which are the subject matter of perception and knowledge, the components of conduct and the path to liberation.
**Hindi Translation:**
The liberation of the substance is the same as complete liberation, as they say.
**General Meaning with Anvaya:**
(The one) who is endowed with complete restraint (sanvarena jutto), (and) who is (adha) also (savvakammani) destroying all karmas (nijjaramano), (and) who is destroying vedaniya karma and ayu karma (vadagavedausso), (and) who abandons (muyadi) the world (bhavam) created by name and gotra karma, (tena) due to this (so) that very soul (mokkho) becomes liberation, or, according to the principle of non-difference, that very person is liberation.
**Specific Meaning:**
When the Kevali Bhagavan, residing in the thirteenth guna-sthana, attains liberation of the essence, he performs complete restraint, which is attainable through the experience of the pure self, free from modifications, and experiences the complete destruction of accumulated karmas, which is attainable through the pure self-meditation, as mentioned earlier. When only a few moments remain in his life, if the state of vedaniya, name, and gotra karmas is greater than the state of ayu karma, then, to destroy the greater state of these three karmas and to destroy the state of the world, he performs the Kevali-samudghata in four forms: danda, kapat, pratar, and lokapurna. Or, if the state of these three karmas is equal to the state of ayu karma, then he does not perform the Kevali-samudghata, but instead, he performs the third white meditation, called "sukshmakriya-pratipati," which is a subtle action in the form of steady conduct in his pure self. Then, he transcends the sa-yogi guna-sthana and enters the a-yogi guna-sthana. Here, he experiences the bliss of the pure self in all realms, transforming into a single form of bliss, and, being satisfied with the taste of the nectar of supreme harmony, he attains the fourth white meditation, called "samuchchhinna-kriya," which is the supreme character, a repository of all virtues and conduct. Then, in the last two moments of this guna-sthana, in the first moment, the seventy-two natures, including the body, and in the last moment, the thirteen natures of the four karmas: vedaniya, ayu, name, and gotra, are completely separated from the soul. This is called liberation of the substance. After being separated from all karmas, the liberated soul resides in the front part of the universe for a moment. After being liberated from the body, the movement of the liberated soul is like a potter's wheel that has been turned, due to its previous use.
