maye svarūpe'vasthānam mokşaḥ. anādisamśliştānām api ātmakarmaṇāṁ pārthakyam na samdegdhavyam. dřsyante'nādisambaddhã dhātumşdādayaḥ přthak sambhūyamānāh.
(Aph.) Emancipation means the establishment of the soul in its own nature on account of the destruction of all the karmans. (XIX)
(Gloss) The establishment of the soul in its own nature which consists in (pure) knowledge and intuition, on the total destruction of karman, thus making fresh bondage impossible, is emancipation.
