c8.s2.3

*Shankara Mishra* in his *Vādivinoda* (p. 40) has the following note:—According to *Prabhākara*, Liberation is the *Prāgabhāva*—absence before appearance—of Pain along with the total absence of *Pain*; that is a state in which there is no Pain and no likelihood of (appearance) of Pain. This is the view of *Vallabhāchārya* also. According to *Bhaṭṭa*, Liberation consists in the appearance of everlasting Happiness. According to *Tridaṇḍin* it consists in the fusion of the *Jīvātman* into *Paramātman*. According to *Shankarāchārya*, it is the direct realisation, *Sākṣātkāra*, of the non-duality of Brahman. He goes on to remark that according to the *Līlāvatī*, as according to the *Mīmāmsaka*, there is no possibility of all personalities ever attaining *Mokṣa*.
