________________ Verse 73 directions - the four transverse, the upward and the downward. The movement of the liberated soul is straight upward only. Immediately after attaining release from all karmas, the soul goes up to the end of the universe and stays there forever as the liberated-soul (Siddha). The liberated soul (Siddha) is rid of eight kinds of karmas, and possessed of eight supreme qualities: 1. ksayika-samyaktua - infinite faith or belief in the tattua or essentials of Reality. It is manifested on destruction of the faith deluding (darsana-mohaniya) karma. 2. kevalajnana - infinite knowledge, manifested on destruction of the knowledge-obscuring (jnanavaraniya) karma. 3. kevaladarsana - infinite perception, manifested on destruction of the perception-obscuring (darsanavaraniya) karma. 4. anantavirya - literally, infinite power; it is the absence of fatigue in having knowledge of infinite substances. It is manifested on destruction of the obstructive (antaraya) karma. 5. suksmatva - literally, fineness; it means that the liberated soul is beyond sense-perception and its knowledge of the substances is direct, without the use of the senses and the mind. It is manifested on destruction of the name-determining (nama) karma. 6. avagahana - inter-penetrability; it means that the liberated soul does not hinder the existence of other such souls in the same space. It is manifested on destruction of the life-determining (ayuh) karma. 7. agurulaghutva - literally, neither heavy nor light. Due to this quality of agurulaghutva, the soul continues to manifest through its form, complete and perfect. This supreme quality is manifested on destruction of the status-determining (gotra) karma. 8. avyabadha - it is undisturbed, infinite bliss, manifested on destruction of the feeling-producing (vedaniya) karma. . . . . . . . . . . 145
