The status-determining karma (gotra) is of two kinds: the one determines high status and the other low status.
The obstructive karma (antarāya) is of five kinds: obstructing the making of gifts, gain, enjoyment of consumable things, enjoyment of non-consumable things, and effort (energy).

Eight supreme qualities of the liberated souls Being void of all karmas, the jīva darts up to the top of the Loka, and the following eight qualities can then be found in it: 1. Samyaktva: Infinite faith or belief in the tattvas or
essential principles of Reality. 2. Jñāna: Infinite knowledge. 3. Darśana: Infinite perception. 4. Vīrya: Literally, power; it is the absence of fatigue in
having knowledge of infinite substances. 5. Sūkṣmatva: Literally, fineness; it means that a liberated
soul is beyond sense-perception since senses can perceive
gross bodies only. 6. Avagāhan: It is inter-penetrability, meaning a liberated
jīva does not hinder the existence of other such jīvas in
the same space. 7. Agurulaghutva: Literally, neither heavy nor light. Jīva,
as per this quality of agurulaghutva, continues to mani
fest through its form, complete and perfect. 8. Avyābādha: It is undisturbed, infinite bliss.
