## Chapter 1
[87 It is sometimes said that knowledge is also a type of faith, because it is preceded by faith.
8 210. The word "Bhed" (difference) is to be understood in conjunction with each of the words "two", "many", and "twelve". There are two types of knowledge: Anga-Bahya (external to the Angas) and Anga-Pravesht (internal to the Angas). Anga-Bahya has many types, such as Dasha-Vakalika, Uttara-Adhyayana, etc. Anga-Pravesht has twelve types. These are: Achar, Sutra-Krit, Sthan, Samavay, Vyakhyan-Prajnapti, Jnatri-Dharma-Katha, Upasaka-Adhyayana, Antakrid-Dasha, Anuttaraupapaddhika-Dasha, Prashna-Vyakaran, Vipaka-Sutra, and Drishti-Vad. Drishti-Vad has five types: Pari-Karma, Sutra, Prathama-Anuyog, Purva-Gat, and Chulika. Of these, Purva-Gat has fourteen types: Utpad-Purva, Agrayaniya, Virya-Anu-Vad, Asti-Nasthi-Pravad, Gyan-Pravad, Satya-Pravad, Atma-Pravad, Karma-Pravad, Pratyakhyan-Namadhey, Vidya-Anu-Vad, Kalyan-Namadhey, Pran-Avyay, Kriya-Vishal, and Lok-Bin-Dusar. Thus, this knowledge is of two types, many types, and twelve types.
8 211. What is the reason for this difference? The difference is due to the difference in the speaker. There are three types of speakers: Sarvagya (omniscient) Tirthankara, or a general Kevali, and Shruta-Kevali, and Araatiya. Of these, the supreme sage, Sarvagya, is endowed with the special excellence of the supreme and inconceivable Kevala-Gyan. Therefore, he has taught the Agam in the form of meaning. He is a direct witness and free from defects, therefore he is authoritative. His direct disciples, the Ganadharas, who are endowed with extraordinary intellectual powers, are Shruta-Kevalis, and they have composed the Angas and the Purva-Granthas by remembering the Agam in its meaning form. They are authoritative because of the authority of the Sarvagya. The Araatiya Acharayas, due to the defect of time, have a shortened lifespan, and they have composed the Dasha-Vakalika, etc., for the benefit of their disciples who have limited intellect and strength. Their authority is based on the fact that they are the same as the original, like milk from the ocean taken in a pot.
After that, he had the first knowledge of smoke, etc. If he has knowledge of the relationship between smoke, etc., and fire, etc., then he knows fire, etc., from the cause of smoke, etc., and even then, knowledge arises from knowledge. Therefore, isn't it true that knowledge arises only after faith?
Solution: This is not a defect, because where knowledge arises from knowledge, the first knowledge is considered to be faith by convention. Knowledge is also sometimes considered to be faith by convention, because it is a rule that knowledge arises from faith.
8 210. The word "Bhed" (difference) that appears in the Sutra should be combined with each of the words "two", "many", and "twelve". For example, two types, many types, and twelve types. There are two types of knowledge: Anga-Bahya (external to the Angas) and Anga-Pravesht (internal to the Angas). Anga-Bahya has many types, such as Dasha-Vakalika, Uttara-Adhyayana, etc. Anga-Pravesht has twelve types. These are: Achar, Sutra-Krit, Sthan, Samavay, Vyakhyan-Prajnapti, Jnatri-Dharma-Katha, Upasaka-Adhyayana, Antakrid-Dasha, Anuttaraupapaddhika-Dasha, Prashna-Vyakaran, Vipaka-Sutra, and Drishti-Vad. Drishti-Vad has five types: Pari-Karma, Sutra, Prathama-Anuyog, Purva-Gat, and Chulika. Of these, Purva-Gat has fourteen types: Utpad-Purva, Agrayaniya, Virya-Anu-Vad, Asti-Nasthi-Pravad, Gyan-Pravad, Satya-Pravad, Atma-Pravad, Karma-Pravad, Pratyakhyan-Namadhey, Vidya-Anu-Vad, Kalyan-Namadhey, Pran-Avyay, Kriya-Vishal, and Lok-Bin-Dusar. Thus, this knowledge is of two types, many types, and twelve types.
