5. The three divine (types of) direct perception and their distinctions and differences, 6. The comparative knowledge of the five (types of knowledge) with respect to their subject specification and their simultaneous possibility, 7. How many small delusions can also occur, and the causes of the reality and unreality of knowledge. 8. The distinctions and differences of standpoint.
Comparison: The discussion of knowledge in the "Jñānamīmāṃsā" is not akin to the authoritative knowledge in the "Pravacanasāra," which is of a different nature and philosophical style; rather, it resembles the initial style of knowledge discussion in the "Nandīsūtra," describing all distinctions and differences of knowledge and elucidating the difference between knowledge and ignorance. The references to the categories of material knowledge and their evolution suggest a reminder of the process of non-conceptual and conceptual knowledge in the systems of Nyāya and the "Abhidhamma" of Buddhism. The description of the three types of divine direct knowledge suggests an indication of the knowledge of the Vedic, Yogic, and divine perspectives. The explanation of the mind's transformations in divine knowledge connects to the Yogic philosophy and Buddhist philosophy:
