the enjoyer of infinite bliss after liberation. The two statements of Sankhya doctrine that the purusa is an enjoyer (bhoktā ) and at the same time an indifferent seer appear to be inconsistent but the Jaina philosophy has no such ambiguity. The Jaina doctrine, as propounded in Pañcasūtrakaṁ, is not atheistic. Though it does not mention any God as the controller of the Universe but it enjoins obeisance and obedience to the liberated souls giving such epithets as the lord of the universe (paramalokanatha) and Bhagavāna to them. It is a doctrine of righteousness and human service conducive to the worldly existence.
