This point is more explained by Siddhasena Divakara. He states that all the religions and conceptions reveal the only partial truth. Opinions means Nayavadas. Nayavadas, as already said, are as many as there are types of words. Therefore, there are as many non-Jaina doctrines as there are mutually contraditory Nayas or thought-processes. Jaina and Buddhist philosophies which comprise of non-violence synthesize all such thoughts or philosophies which contradict each other. This is the unusal instance of religious tolerance.

They are vertoscope and video which stall off staircase illusin about the objects. These views pave the way to establish the world-peace, social harmony and interreligious diologue and wash away waspishness of persons and nations,
