"Some soul is liberated even while in the womb,
another while being born;
a third whether he be a boy or a youth or an old man.
A soul born as a lower species,
a soul undergoing torture in hell,
a soul achieving a heavenly region may be liberated on its way.
Some soul may return after the enjoyment of the heavens
and then be liberated on its way.
Hence there is no stipulated mode
or order in the attainment of liberation".
