in the objects. In this way, whatever attachment-aversion form of conduct is caused due to believing the objects good or bad, that is termed Mithya Charitra.
And the anger, pride, deceit, greed, laughter, liking, disliking, sorrow, fear, disgust, female sex-passion, male sex-passion, neuter sex-passion, forms of passional dispositions are nothing but the details of these attachment-aversion feelings only. All these are the sub-divisions of Mithya Charitra only. All these have already been described earlier.
And in this conduct, there is absence of self-absorption form of conduct; therefore, it is also termed as Acharitra (non-conduct). And here those (passional) thoughts are not destroyed or are not free from attachment; therefore, this is called Asamyam (incontinence) or Avirati (vowlessness).

This type of conduct is found in all kinds of Jivas from one-sensed etc., up to the irrational five-sensed beings. And excepting true believers, such kind of conduct is found in all the rational five-sensed beings. Whatever type of conduct be possible in whichever state of existence, the same should be understood in that context. For example, the onesensed beings, etc., are found possessed with less or more senses and the attachment of wealth, son, etc. is found in the human beings only. With the consideration of these things only the wrong belief, etc. are described here. And whatever peculiarities are possible in which
