**Original Verses - Explanation**
The disciple asks the teacher: "What should be the first topic of study in the scriptures?"
The teacher replies: "The first topic of study in this text is not a greeting. It is the *bhaktaparijñāna* (knowledge of devotees) as explained by Vīrabhadra Ācārya. He first attained *bhaktaparijñāna* and then performed the *āturapratyākhyāna*. Therefore, the first verse should be considered a greeting to the *bhaktaparijñāna*. This is because there is only one author of this text."
**Desikkadeśavirodha**
The sixth part of the six categories of beings is the *traskāya* (those who are subject to suffering). The *deśa* (world) is a part of the *traskāya*. There is a difference between the *deśa* and the *traskāya* because of the intention to harm. The *deśa* is a part of the *traskāya* that has renounced violence through intention. Therefore, there are two types of *deśa*: those who are guilty and those who are innocent. The *deśa* that has renounced the world through intention and is innocent is called a *desikkadeśavirodha*.
**Samyagdṛṣṭi**
The *samyagdṛṣṭi* (right faith) is a vision that is not contrary to the truth. A being who is a *śrāvaka* (lay follower) and dies with *samyagdṛṣṭi* is called a *balapanditamaraṇa* in the Jina teachings. This is because they have attained *samyagdṛṣṭi* and are therefore considered a *pandita* (sage), but they have not renounced all vows and are therefore considered a *bala* (child).
**Jina teachings**
There are many types of death in the Jina teachings, such as *āvicīmaraṇa* (death in hell). However, there are five types of death that are considered to be the most important. These are:
1. *Mithyātvīna balamaraṇa* (death of a being who has false faith as a child)
2. *Avirata samyagdṛṣṭīna balamaraṇa* (death of a being who has right faith but has not renounced all vows as a child)
3. *Deśaviratīna balapanditamaraṇa* (death of a being who has renounced the world but not all vows as a child-sage)
4. *Chhadmasthayatina panditamaraṇa* (death of a being who is pretending to be a sage)
5. *Kevalīna panditamaraṇa* (death of a being who has attained omniscience)
