Niyamasara
नियमसार
The liberated soul (Siddha) is rid of eight kinds of karmas, and possessed of eight supreme qualities:1
1. kṣayika-samyaktua - infinite faith or belief in the tattva or essential principles of Reality. It is manifested on destruction of the faith-deluding (darśana mohaniya) karma.
2. kevalajñāna - infinite knowledge, manifested on destruction of the knowledge-obscuring (jñānāvaraṇīya) karma.
3. kevaladarśana - infinite perception, manifested on destruction of the perception-obscuring (darśanavaraṇīya) karma.
4. anantavirya - literally, infinite power; it is the absence of fatigue in having knowledge of infinite substances. It is manifested on destruction of the obstructive (antaraya) karma. 5. sūkṣmatva - literally, fineness; it means that the liberated soul is beyond sense-perception and its knowledge of the substances is direct, without the use of the senses and the mind. It is manifested on destruction of the name-determining (nama) karma.
6. avagahana - inter-penetrability; it means that the liberated soul does not hinder the existence of other such souls in the same space. It is manifested on destruction of the lifedetermining (ayuḥ) karma.
7. agurulaghutva - literally, neither heavy nor light. Due to this quality of agurulaghutva, the soul continues to manifest through its form, complete and perfect. This supreme quality is manifested on destruction of the status-determining (gotra) karma.

8. avyābādha - it is undisturbed, infinite bliss, manifested on destruction of the feeling-producing (vedaniya) karma.
