5) charitable forbearance and concealment of defects in others
(upagūhana), 6) ensuring steadfastness of right faith and conduct so as not to
swerve from the path to liberation (sthitikarana), 7) propagation of the true path (prabhāvanā), 8) joy and affection towards the right path and its followers
(vātsalya). A person with right faith must be free from eight kinds of pride (mada):
1) pride of knowledge (jñāna mada), 2) pride of veneration (pūjā mada), 3) pride of lineage (kula mada), 4) pride of caste (jāti mada), 5) pride of strength (bala mada), 6) pride of accomplishments (yddhi mada), 7) pride of austerities (tapa mada), 8) pride of beauty (śarīra mada).
Beside these nineteen imperfections - three kinds of follies (mūdhatā), absence of eight limbs (aştānga), and eight kinds of pride (mada) - the person with right faith (samyagdarśana) must shed adoration of the following six denigrating-abodes - anāyatana - that vitiate faith (see Asādhara's Dharmāmrta Anagāra, verse 84, p. 174):
1) wrong belief (mithyādarśana), 2) wrong knowledge (mithyājñāna), 3) wrong conduct (mithyācāritra), 4) possessor of wrong belief (mithyādışți), 5) possessor of wrong knowledge (mithyājñāni),
6) possessor of wrong conduct (mithyācāritrī). The six anāyatana have also been defined as 1) false preacher (kuguru), 2) false deity (kudeva), 3) false doctrine (kudharma), and 4-6) adoration of the above three. (see Ācārya Gunabhadra's Ātmānuśāsanam, verse 10, p.12.)
