Verses 14, 15
without reading the Scripture itself, it is called arthasamudbhava. When right faith (samyagdarśana) arises in a potential soul due to the study of the Scripture (āgama, dravyaśruta) – the twelve departments (dvādaśānga) and the fourteen miscellaneous concepts called the angabāhya – it is called the avagādha samyagdarsana". When right faith (samyagdarsana) gets to the level of complete faith in substances as seen in perfect and direct knowledge – omniscience - it is called the paramāvagādha samyagdarśana*.
शमबोधवृत्ततपसां पाषाणस्येव गौरवं पुंसः । पूज्यं महामणेरिव तदेव सम्यक्त्वसंयुक्तम् ॥१५॥
अर्थ - पुरुष के सम्यक्त्व से रहित शान्ति (शम), ज्ञान, चारित्र और तप इनका महत्त्व (गौरव) पत्थर के भारीपन के समान व्यर्थ है। परन्तु वही महत्त्व (गौरव) यदि ये सम्यक्त्व से सहित हैं तो महामणि के समान मूल्यवान्, पूजनीय हो जाता है।
In the man without right faith (samyagdarśana), these – calmness (sama), knowledge (jñāna), conduct (cāritra) and austerity (tapa) - do not have much value, like the
The avagādha samyagdarśana occurs to the śrutakevali - the possessor of perfect, indirect knowledge. * The paramāvagādha samyagdarśana occurs to the Omniscient (kevalī) - the possessor of perfect, direct knowledge.
