________________ 6 7 8 : 23 : Ashrava is the fundamental cause of the cycles of birth and rebirth in this four cornered world (2422), while Sarvara is thefundamental cause for Moksha. In this manner, these prescriptions are the essence of all the teachings of all Arihantas (1.e. a Tirthankara - the Lord). Whatever else is written in the very high quality scriptures (u/suror) is merely a greater elucidation of the same essence. Those in time past, who have followed this path, prescriptions and orders (d) scrupulously have constantly reached Moksha. Similarly, others even in the present are realising Moksha by following the methods in some other part of this universe. Lastly, many shall in future, by similarly following the orders, reach Moksha. Ch Vestraagi By giving up the activities of flattery or supplication to other Devas, and only by following your path/prescriptions/orders (3), the Jivas become free from this cage that is one's Karmas in such a way that they are never again trapped in the same cage.
