Emancipated soul, being free from birth, old age, death, hunger, thirst, disease, anxity, poverty, sorrow and sufferings enjoys infinite bliss. Since the Karma is the root cause of birth or worldly existence, and that being distructed, ends all the possibilities of transmigration of soul. संतपयपरूवणया, दव्वपमाणं च खित्त फुसणा य। कालो अंतरभागो भावे अप्पाबहुं चेव ।।४३।। saṁtapayaparüvaņayā davvapamāņaṁ khitta phusaņā ya kālo astarbhāgobhāve appābahuṁ ceva.
