other, then alone they can be deemed right in their views. 17-21
This statement is illustrated in the following verses.
जहऽणेयलक्खणगुणा वेरुलियाई मणी विसंजुत्ता। रयणावलिववएसं न लहंति महग्धमुल्ला वि ॥ २२ ॥ तह णिययवायसुविणिच्छिया वि अण्णएणपक्खणिरवेक्खा। सम्मईसणसदं सव्वे वि णया ण पावेंति ॥ २३ ॥ जह पुण ते चेव मणी जहा गुणविसेसभागपडिबद्धा । 'रयणावलि'त्ति भण्णइ जहंति पाडिक्कसपणाउ ॥ २४ ॥ तह सव्वे णयवाया जहाणुरूवविणिउत्तवत्तव्वा । सम्मईसणसदं लहन्ति ण विसेससरणाओ ॥ २५ ॥
(22, 23) Just' as emerald and other jewels of rare quality and of excellent kind do not acquire the designation of a necklace of jewels even though all of them be priceless jewels on account of their lying unconnected with or disunited with each other, similarly every Naya in its own sphere is right, but if all of them arrogate to themselves the whole truth and disregard the views of rival Naya then they do not attain the status of a right view.
