And liberation does not destroy this karma. It is a done deal. It is
still endured. Its the "last push of cart" --lashya vidya.
The text expresses this poetically. "He stood at the pinnacle of human
development and moved as only Jeeven-Muktas can move under the strong
hold of "prarabdha". The prarabdha karma was is still there, returning
when its time is ripe. Yet he absorbed it, took it, in a noble way.

"Gone" or purified (roasting of) of all impurities --- vasnanas. As I
understand, the subtle and casual bodies are still there, and can be
used for "yogi things", just as physical body remains. But the vasanas
are neutralized, no longer able to sprout future bodies.
