निर्वाण का स्वरूप - The nature of liberation -
णवि इंदिय उवसग्गा णवि मोहो विम्हिओ ण णिद्दा य । ण य तिण्हा णेव छुहा तत्थेव य होइ णिव्वाणं ॥१८०॥ जहाँ इन्द्रियाँ नहीं है, उपसर्ग नहीं है, मोह नहीं है, विस्मय नहीं है, निद्रा नहीं है, तृषा नहीं है, और क्षुधा नहीं है, वहीं निर्वाण है। (अर्थात् इन्द्रियादि-रहित परमात्मतत्त्व में ही निर्वाण है।)
Where there are no senses (indriya), no calamity (upasarga), no delusion (moha), no surprise (vismaya), no sleep (nidrā), no thirst (trsā), and no hunger (ksudhā), there is liberation – nirvāņa.
EXPLANATORY NOTE Liberation - nirvāna, moksa - is the pure state of the soul that is of the nature of knowledge (jñāna). It is rid of all occupation of the senses (indriya) - touch (sparśana), taste (rasanā), smell (ghrāņa), sight (cakşu), and hearing (śrota). It is immune to calamity (upasarga) brought about by the devas, the humans, the animals, and the nonliving objects. The pure soul is rid of the two kinds of deluding (mohaniya) karmas - the perception-deluding (darsanamohaniya) and the conduct-deluding (caritramohanīya) - and, as the result of complete destruction (kşaya) of the knowledge-obstructing karmas, it is ever established in perfect-knowledge (kevalajñāna) and perfectconduct (yathākhyāta cāritra). Since the pure soul has no external concern, it is rid of surprise (vismaya). Of the nature of knowledge (jñāna), the pure soul does not sleep (nidrā). Since it is rid of the unpleasant-feeling (asātāvedaniya) karmas, it does not experience thirst (trsā) and hunger (ksudhā). The perfect-soul-substance - paramātmatattva - is eternal liberation (nirvana, moksa).
