1 - THE SOUL
परमात्मा का स्वरूप - The Supreme Lord (the Arhat, paramātmā) -
णिस्सेसदोसरहिओ केवलणाणाइपरमविभवजुदो । सो परमप्पा उच्चइ तव्विवरीओ ण परमप्पा ॥७॥ जो (पूर्वोक्त) समस्त (सभी अठारह) दोषों से रहित है तथा केवलज्ञान आदि परम वैभव से युक्त है, वह परमात्मा कहलाता है। उससे जो विपरीत है वह परमात्मा नहीं है।
The one who is rid of (above mentioned) all (eighteen) imperfections in totality and is endowed with the supreme grandeur of omniscience (kevalajñāna), etc., is called the Supreme Lord (paramātmā). The one who is not such qualified is not the Supreme Lord (paramātmā).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
As already mentioned, the Arhat or the sect-founder (āpta) or the Supreme Lord (paramātmā) is free from all eighteen imperfections. He is rid of the four inimical (ghāti) karmas - deluding (mohaniya), knowledge-obscuring (jñānāvaraṇīya), perception-obscuring (darśanāvaranīya), and obstructive (antaraya). On destruction of these karmas manifest the following four infinitudes (ananta catustaya):
1. anantasukha-infinite bliss; 2. anantajñāna - infinite knowledge; 3. anantadarśana-infinite perception; and 4. anantavirya - infinite energy.
