                  Mokṣa

                  The ‘liberation’ of the soul from its body and thus from the cycle of rebirth because it has no karma and becomes omniscient. The ultimate aim of Jainism is to achieve mokṣa and become a liberated soul in siddha-śilā.

                  Synonyms:
                  liberated, Liberation, Liberated, Emancipation
