________________ Sec. VI] STUDIES IN THE BHAGA WATI SOTRA 607 the soul which is on the upašamasrenī remains in the minimum one samaya and in the maximum one antarmuhurta and the one who is on the ksaa pakasreni altogether one muhūrta." The State of Liberation Soul attains perfection, when the renouncement of thought (bhāvavyutsarga) and that of articles, body, passion, world and action etc., (dravyavyutsarga) take place as a result of the joint action of right knowledge, right attitude of mind and right conduct. Being freed from the karma-matters, the soul gets a propulsion like the movement of an arrow released from the bow towards the target and it goes up in a straight line to the top of the Universe. In that state it stays permanently in Tsat Prāgbhāra which is lying close to the border of the Universe and that of the Non-Universe high above the Sarvārtha-siddhi heaven and enjoys eternal perfect bliss with freedom from the worldly bondage and suffering of the physical existence. 1 The Doctrine of karma in Jain Philosophy-Dr. S.V.
