Tattvārthasūtra
(samyagdarśana). Thus, the sūtra expounds that right faith (samyagdarśana) originates from own-nature - svabhāva, and cognizance of the objects of knowledge -adhigama. Now the question arises whether right faith (samyagdarśana) entails the knowledge of the substances. If yes, then right faith (samyagdarśana) must originate only after the cognizance of the objects of knowledge – adhigama. If not, then how can one have faith without first acquiring the knowledge of the substance? There is no anomaly in this. In both cases of origination of right faith (samyagdarśana), the internal cause is the subsidence (upaśama), destruction (ksaya), or subsidence-cum-destruction (kşayopasama) of faith-deluding (darśanamohanīya) karmas. When this internal cause is present, right faith (samyagdarśana) originates without teaching by others; this is the first type of right faith - originating from ownnature- nisargaja samyagdarśana. And the second type of right faith originates on acquisition of knowledge of substances, souls and nonsouls, on teaching by others; this is adhigamaja samyagdarśana. This is the difference between the two types of right faith (samyagdarśana). Thus, the first type of right faith (samyagdarśana) originates without teaching by others and the second type on teaching by others.
It has been expounded that belief in the nature of the substances - 'tattvārtha'- is right faith (samyagdarśana). The next sūtra delves on the reality - the 'tattva'.
