________________ Verse 150-151 The knowledgeable-soul (jnani) sees and knows all objects-ofknowledge (jneya), but neither accepts nor rejects these objects-ofknowledge; these do not cause transformations in it. It, therefore, remains free from the influx (of karmas). In the absence of the influx (asrava), the (fresh) karmas do not bind with it. With the utter destruction of the deluding (mohaniya) karmas, the soul becomes pristine and it attains, for up to one muhurta, the twelfth stage called ksinakasaya. Immediately after that, knowledge- and perceptioncovering karmas and obstructive karmas are simultaneously destroyed and it attains omniscience (kevalajnana). The soul (atma) whose pure-consciousness (ananta-caitanya) and infinite-strength (ananta virya) were hitherto covered attains the state of perfectknowledge (kevalajnana), and perception of unimaginable splendour and magnificence. This explains psychic-liberation (bhava-moksa). Acarya Umasvami's Tattvarthasutra: मोहक्षयाज्ज्ञानदर्शनावरणान्तरायक्षयाच्च केवलम् // 10-1 // मोह का क्षय होने से (अन्तर्मुहूर्त पर्यन्त क्षीणकषाय नामक गुणस्थान प्राप्त करने के बाद) और ज्ञानावरण, दर्शनावरण तथा अन्तराय इन तीन कर्मों का एक साथ क्षय होने से केवलज्ञान उत्पन्न होता है। Omniscience or perfect knowledge - kevalajnana - is attained on destruction of delusion (moha), and on destruction of knowledge-covering (nanavarana), perception-covering (darsanavarana) and obstructive (antaraya) karmas. . . . . . . . . . . 287
