In order to show our special reverence for their teachings, we salute Arihants first and then Siddhas. ![]() It would not have been possible for us to know about Siddhas or liberation without them.

It is very interesting to note that in Namokar Mantra we pray to the Arihants first and then to the Siddhas, even though the Siddhas are perfected souls who have destroyed all (both Ghati and Aghati) Karmas, and at a higher spiritual stage than Arihants. After attaining salvation these Arihants are called Siddhas. These four karmas do not affect the true nature of the soul therefore, they are called Aghati karmas.
