The *Jina* is not a *dravya-udyotaka* (one who illuminates by material means) of the world. But the twenty-four *Tirthankaras* are *bhava-udyotakas* (one who illuminates by spiritual means) and therefore illuminators of the world. ||556||
There are three types of *dharma*: *śruta-dharma* (scriptural dharma), *astikaaya-dharma* (dharma of the body), and *caritra-dharma* (dharma of conduct). Of these three, *śruta-dharma* is called *tirtha*. ||557||
There are two types of *tirtha*: *dravya* (material) and *bhava* (spiritual). Each of these two has its own distinct form. ||558||
*Tirtha* is characterized by three causes: *daha-upasaman* (extinguishing the fire of passions), *tṛṣṇā-chheda* (cutting off the root of desires), and *mala-panka-pravahana* (washing away the dirt and filth of the mind). ||559||
