**Chapter One**
The **avadhi** knowledge arises from the **kevalajnana** (omniscience) or from the increase or decrease of the **samyagdarsana** (right faith) and other qualities. It is produced in a certain quantity and then increases until it reaches the point where it should increase and decreases until it reaches the point where it should decrease, like the waves of water driven by the wind. Thus, there are six types of **avadhi** knowledge.
$ 216. This is how **avadhi** knowledge is explained. Now, **manahparyaya** knowledge should be explained. To explain its characteristics along with its types, the following sutra is said:
_ **Rijuvipulamati** is **manahparyaya** knowledge. ||23|| 8 217. **Riju** means **nirvatita** (fulfilled) and **praguṇa** (virtuous). Question: What is **nirvatita**? Answer: It is fulfilled by the knowledge of the meaning of the words, body, and mind of another person. One whose **mati** (intellect) is **riju** is called **riju-mati**. **Vipula** means **anirvatita** (unfulfilled) and **katilā** (crooked). Question: What is **anirvatita**? Answer: It is unfulfilled by the knowledge of the meaning of the words, body, and mind of another person. One whose **mati** is **vipula** is called **vipula-mati**. **Riju-mati** and **vipula-mati** together are called **rijuvipulamati**. The word **mati** is used only once because it is understood. Alternatively, **riju** and **vipula** can be combined using the **karmadhāraya** compound and then combined with **mati** using the **bahuvrihi** compound. Even then, the word **mati** is not needed again. This **manahparyaya** knowledge is of two types: **riju-mati** and **vipula-mati**.
