3) Vichikitsaa is praising oneself and criticising others. Considering oneself to be superior to others is also vichikitsaa. One who has samyaktva transcends such vichikitsaa. Nirvichikitsaa is the arrogance and hubris free disposition of the soul.
4) A person may, owing to the fruition of his demeritorious karmas, fall sick, reek of filth. He may be unbathed. One who has samyaktva does not feel any revulsion or horror upon seeing such a person. He feels compassion for all. Knowing that living beings are subject to the vicissitudes of karma, he will serve even such a dishevelled person with great love and compassion. This is the quality of nirvichikitsaa.
4. Amuudhadrishti {Proper understanding of the doctrine
Muudha means false / inaccurate/misguided / deluded/wrong/foolish/uninformed/unenlightened.
Drishti means perception/faith/understanding/vision/belief.
Hence, one who has faith in falsehood is known as a muudhadrishti. Similarly, one who considers false preceptors to be true, false gods to be true, false faiths to be true is a muudhadrishti. One who does not suffer from such misguided faith in falsehoods is known as an amuudhadrishti.
One who has samyaktva has an absolutely crystal clear understanding of the reals of the universe. He knows who the true gods are, who the true preceptors are and which one is the true religion. He is truly an amuudhadrishti.
The Dashavaikalika Suutra says that,
"Sammaaditthii sayaa amuudhe" - Dashavaikalika Suutra, verse 10.7 (Page 285, Publisher: Akhil Bhartiya Jain Sanskruti Rakshak Sangh, Jodhpur (Rajasthan), year 2009)
One who has attained samyaktva is always free from false understanding.
The scriptures have related many types of falsehoods. They are:
1) Loka Muudhataa 2) Deva Muudhataa 3) Guru Muudhataa 4) Shaastra Muudhataa And many others
