Detailed explanation-1: -Derived from the Sanskrit word muc (“to free”), the term moksha literally means freedom from samsara. This concept of liberation or release is shared by a wide spectrum of religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Moksha is more than liberation from a life-rebirth cycle of suffering (samsara); the Vedantic school separates this into two: jivanmukti (liberation in this life) and videhamukti (liberation after death).
Detailed explanation-3: -Tattvartha Sutra is also known in Jainism as the Moksha-shastra (Scripture describing the path of liberation).
Detailed explanation-4: -The status of a human soul and the circumstances of rebirth are based on the soul’s past karma. If good accumulated karma exceeds bad karma, the soul will finally be alleviated from the endless cycle of life and death. Such liberation of the soul from the eternal cycle of rebirths is known as Moksha.
