    Chapter 5.7 – Nirvāṇa (The Liberation) [4 of 10]

     

    Haribhadrasūri says that the state of emancipation (saṃsārātītatattva), which is known by the word nirvāṇa, is essentially and necessarily one even if designated by different names.[1] It is called differently by different schools of philosophy. The following are the words used by different schools of philosophy to define the state of emancipation.

    They are:[2]

    1. Sadāśiva,
    2. Parabrahma,
    3. Siddhātman,
    4. Thatātā.

    These four words’ etymology is given by our author in his auto–commentary on Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya. Their etymological meaning derives the same sense let as see each one in detail.
