The perfect-soul is liberation -
uifa gara uifa ya ufa isi va favà allel I णवि मरणं णवि जणणं तत्थेव य होइ णिव्वाणं ॥ १७९॥
12- THE PURE-COGNITION
जहाँ दुःख नहीं है, (सांसारिक) सुख नहीं है, पीड़ा नहीं है, बाधा नहीं है, मरण नहीं है और जन्म नहीं है, वहीं निर्वाण है। (अर्थात् दुःखादि-रहित परमात्मतत्त्व में ही निर्वाण है | )
Where there are no misery (duḥkha), no (worldly) happiness (sukha), no affliction (pīḍā), no obstruction (badhā), no death (marana), and no birth (janma), there is liberation - nirvāṇa.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
misery and
Liberation - nirvāṇa, mokṣa - is the pure state of the soul that is rid of all imperfections of the worldly state of existence. The perfect-soulsubstance paramatmatattva is dependent on the self, totally insulated from all imperfections of the worldly state - happiness, afflictions and obstructions, and birth and death. Since it is rid of the karmas that cause demerit, there is no misery. Since it is rid of the karmas that cause merit, there is no (worldly) happiness. Since it is rid of the body, home to uneasiness, there is no affliction. Since it is rid of the unpleasant-feeling (asātāvedaniya) karmas, there is no obstruction. Since it is rid of the quasi-karmicmatter (nokarma) that is responsible for body-formation, there is no death. Since it does not assimilate fresh quasi-karmic-matter (nokarma) that is responsible for body-formation, there is no birth.
