Muktatvamimansa: Mukta (liberated) is the primary, adosha (without faults) due to the absence of desha (faults).
Just as a man afflicted with birth, death, etc., faults, is called "adosha" when he is freed from those faults, similarly, the absence of faults, which is the cause of the disappearance of faults, is the primary reason for being "mukta".
The meaning is that when a disease is destroyed, the man is not destroyed, but the disease-free man has only good qualities. Similarly, when the disease of birth and death is destroyed, the man-soul is not destroyed, but the liberated soul has only good qualities.
Just as a person who is afflicted with faults becomes faultless when those faults are absent, similarly, this soul, which is afflicted with birth, death, etc., faults, becomes a liberated soul when those faults are absent. But the absence of faults does not mean that the faultless person is absent, just as the absence of birth, death, etc., faults does not mean that the faultless soul is absent.
Just as faultlessness is the state of a person being free from faults, but the person is not absent, similarly, liberation, which is faultlessness, is the state of the soul being free from birth, death, etc., faults, but the soul is not absent.
Just as a healthy man remains after the disease is gone, similarly, a pure soul remains after the disease of birth and death is gone.

Explaining the same meaning, it is said:
"Even though there is a suppression of the nature of the soul, due to the connection with its own nature, it is the same soul that is present. Because of the absence of that, there is a connection with faultlessness." (191)
Meaning: Even though there is a suppression of the nature of the soul, due to the connection with its own nature, it is the same soul that is present. Because of the absence of that, there is a connection with faultlessness.
