Videhamukti

Disembodied liberation: the final freedom of the liberated one when the body falls away at death.

Also: Videha mukti

Vedānta and the Hindu traditions

Videhamukti is liberation without a body. Traditions that accept liberation in life hold that the realized person attains videhamukti at death, when the remaining karma that sustained the body is spent. Some schools teach that liberation is complete only then, and do not accept liberation while living.
