In [[Jainism]], [[Moksha (Jainism)|''salvation'', ''moksha'', and ''nirvana'']] are one and the same.<ref name="pjaini">{{cite book |last=Jaini |first=Padmanabh |title=Collected Papers on Jaina Studies |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |year=2000 |isbn=81-208-1691-9 |location=Delhi}} ''"Moksa and Nirvana are synonymous in Jainism".'' p. 168</ref><ref>Michael Carrithers, Caroline Humphrey (1991) ''The Assembly of listeners: Jains in society'' Cambridge University Press. {{ISBN|0521365058}}: ''"Nirvana: A synonym for liberation, release, moksa."'' p. 297</ref> When a soul ([[Atman (Jainism)|''atman'']]) achieves ''moksha'', it is released from the cycle of births and deaths, and achieves its pure self. It then becomes a ''[[siddha]]'' ('one who has accomplished his ultimate objective'). Attaining Moksha requires annihilation of all ''[[Karma in Jainism|karmas]]'', good and bad, because if karma is left, it must bear fruit.
