The text says the tiger attained 'liberation.' What does that mean in the context of dying in front of a saint?

According to the teachings in Chapter 31, dying in the presence of a saint is considered a supreme spiritual achievement. It is not viewed as a typical death but as 'liberation' or 'salvation.' The text explains that to leave the body before a saint's eyes is a great merit that saves the creature from all its sins, as stated in verse 143. This act is considered the 'earning of life' (verse 145) and ensures there is no rebirth for the soul (verse 148). It is described as attaining 'Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss,' conquering the mortal world, and achieving 'true self-salvation' (verses 149, 151).
