Siddhashila
(सिद्धशिला)Literal Meaning
The abode of liberated souls
Etymology & Sanskrit Root
'Siddha' (accomplished, liberated) plus 'shila' (rock/slab); the crescent-shaped realm at the very apex of the Jain universe where fully liberated souls dwell forever.
Spiritual Insight & Context
Siddhashila is not heaven but a place entirely beyond the cycle of rebirth — souls that reach it never take birth again, resting in eternal, unbounded awareness.
