In a liberated soul are directly revealed and clearly known all the things of the universe, past, present and future with all their infinite qualities, modes and aspects. Omniscience, as cenceived by the Jainas, is thus unlimited, infinite, unrestricted and all embracing. It seems to us, that such an omniscience might have been attributed to Isvara by some of the theistic systems of India ; but none of them appear to have thought it possible in a soul, either as emancipated or as approaching emancipation.
