## Woman's Vow
**Trivarna Acharya.**
**Five types of Mithyatva:**
"The one who is blind, deluded, and ignorant is called a **Tavaso** (deluded). The one who is doubtful is called a **Makardi** (doubter). The one who is completely ignorant is called an **Annani** (ignorant)." (12)
The one who believes in **Ekant Mithyatva** (absolute falsehood) is a **Buddhist**. The **Brahman** holds a **Vipreet Mithyatva** (opposite falsehood) and believes that killing beings in sacrifices leads to liberation. The **Tapas** holds a **Vinay Mithyatva** (false belief in discipline) and believes that liberation can only be achieved through discipline. The **Indracharaya**, the head of the **Indrachandra Nagendra Gachchha**, holds a **Sanshay Mithyatva** (doubtful falsehood) and remains in doubt about whether **Samyak Darshan** (right faith), **Samyak Gyan** (right knowledge), and **Samyak Charitra** (right conduct) are the causes of liberation. Therefore, he accepts liberation from all. The **Maskari Muni**, a scholar of the **Dwadashanga** (twelve parts of Jain scriptures) who was born in the **Tirth** (pilgrimage site) of **Shriparshvanath Tirthankara**, holds an **Ashan Mithyatva** (false belief in ignorance) and believes that liberation is achieved through ignorance. (12)
**Causes of the emergence of Samyaktva:**
"The one who is **Asanna Bhavya** (near to liberation), whose **Mithyatva** (falsehood) and other **Karmas** (actions) have been destroyed, who is **Sanjni** (conscious), who possesses **Shuddha Parinam** (pure results), and whose **Mithyatva** has been destroyed through **Deshana** (teaching), **Jati Smaran** (recollection of past lives), etc., is eligible for **Samyaktva** (right faith). In other words, **Asanna Bhavya** (near to liberation) and other factors are the causes of the emergence of **Samyaktva**." (13)
**Regarding opposing views:**
"One should never believe in the doctrines of those with **Dushta Buddhi** (evil minds) who have spoken about the **Tattvas** (principles) of committing sins like **Himsa** (violence) in their opposing views. These **Tattvas** are full of **Himsa Pataka Dosha** (sins of violence)." (14)
**Characteristics of a true Dev (God):**
"The one who is **Sarv Darshi** (all-seeing), **Sarv Gya** (all-knowing), **Siddh** (liberated), **Aapt** (perfect), **Niranjan** (free from impurities), free from the **Astadash Maha Dosha** (eighteen major flaws), is called a **Dev** (God)." (15)
**Names of the eighteen flaws:**
"**Kshutta** (hunger), **Udgbha** (thirst), **Yara** (attachment), **Roga** (disease), **Rosh** (anger), **Maran** (death), **Sweda** (sweat), **Khed** (sorrow), **Arati** (discontent), **Chinta** (worry), **Janma** (birth), **Jara** (old age), **Vismaya** (wonder), **Mad** (intoxication), **Nidra** (sleep), **Vishad** (dejection), **Moha** (delusion). The **Jina** (victorious one), free from these eighteen flaws, is **Shree Vitraga** (free from attachment). He is the **Param Daivat** (supreme deity) who protects all beings with compassion and kindness." (16)
