Thus, the four types of knowledge that are definitely grasped through touch are called definite knowledge, and those three types of knowledge that arise from the perception of the properties of sandalwood and flowers through their touch in a cool breeze are termed as indefinite knowledge.
The meaning of 'Dhruva' is definitely grasped; and 'Adhruva' perhaps refers to what is understood as unsure. Despite the relationship between senses and objects and the similarity of material substances, one person definitely knows the object, while another may or may not know it. The knowledge that definitely knows the object when the material is acquired is referred to as definite knowledge. When despite having the material, due to the slowness of destruction and endurance, a subject is sometimes grasped and sometimes not grasped, this is referred to as minor knowledge.
Question: How many topics are distinguished due to diversity among subjects and how many are due to the diversity of endurance arising from destruction and slow absorption?
In the texts of the Shvetambara tradition, there is only one text that is not 'asthira.' It is explained in the commentary as outlined above. On page 183 of the Brahmi text, a similar reading is also mentioned, which corresponds to the previously mentioned Rajvattika. However, the commentator writes that, keeping the 'mentioned' text means it will only apply to word-related meanings and not to physical meanings. Due to this incompleteness, another teacher has kept an 'undoubted' text. According to Tattva Bhashya Vritti, page 58.
