भास्करनन्दि-विरचितः
79
It arises to some souls by intuition, and likewise
by the acquisition of knowledge of Reality. Thus two causes are prescribed by your exposition, Oh Lord.
80 Nisarga should mean one's inborn disposition.
Provided with the subsidence, etc., of his own karmas, That which is produced on this very basis, is the faith derived by intuition.
81 While that which is originated on the basis
of the instruction of others, Is told by you, Oh Lord, to be the belief derived by the acquisition of knowledge.
82 Moreover, right faith is explained to be
the cause of karmic destruction, Which is of two kinds; one should be with attachment, and the other, without attachment.
83 Now, by serenity, by liking for liberation,
by compassion, and by faithfulness, Faith becomes manifest in a soul;
this is the faith of a man with attachment.
