sorry if my previous mail is already circulated

Vaarttika com. On BS shankarabhaa.sya states that 


Santatamuurdhvagamana”siilo hi jiiva.h (Anantakrishnashastri edition p.594)

Atha mok.sa.h—nigatanikhilakle”satadvaasanasya anaavara.naj~naanasya sukhaiktaanansya aatmano’lokaakaa”sade”saavasthaanam ityeke
Apare tu --- uurdhvagamana”siilo hi jiivo dharmaadharmaastikayena baddhas 
tadvimokaad uurdhva.m gacchatyeva/ sa mok”sa ityuucire (p.595)

Sarvadar"sanasa.mgraha quotes this type of Mukti twice. Once in jainamata  and second time in nyayamata.
tathaa karmarahita aatmaa asa.mgatvaad uurdhva.m gacchati (SDS. P.33, Aandashram Ed. fourth reprint 1977).
pa~njaraan muktasya "sukasyeva aatmana.h satatordhvagamana.m muktir iti cet tadaa vaktavya.m (SDS.p.95).

where it is stated in jain texts? 

thanks in advance
