\ndestination that everyone should attain, with the divine name \u2018mukthAnAM
\nparamAgathi:\u2019. The word \u2018muktha\u2019 refers to such liberated souls who are no longer
\nassociated with the bondages of ignorance, actions (karma), purity, tastes and
\ndistress which arise out of the nature (prakRuti), and are freed from all such
\npremises. The vEdhams say thus:<\/p>\n\n
\nforms pertaining to this nature\u201d<\/li>\n

\nfrom verily this samsAra, and they are called mukthas or the freed souls\u201d,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nthis samsAra and its knowledge has blossomed to the fullest, its possession of eight
\nqualities such as being free of sins, aging, etc is never contradicted, because those
\neight qualities are accepted to be natural to every individual soul by sage vEdha
\nvyAsa himself\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nsince such a soul gains a form similar to that of the Supreme Soul, he gains a sort of
\nequality with the Supreme soul Himself. This is shown by the numerous scriptural

\nspeech, or direct speech. It represents attainment of the most desirable fruits. Thus,
\nthe name \u2018mukthAnAm paramAgathi:\u2019 represents the relationship of a servant and

\nthis regard:<\/p>\n\n
