"Just as a being afflicted with jaundice does not find even sweet taste pleasant, similarly, a Mithyatvi does not find true Dharma pleasant."
There are five types of Mithyatva, which arise from the Mithyatva nature and are characterized by faith contrary to Tattvartha: 1) Ekant, 2) Vipreet, 3) Vinay, 4) Sanshay, 5) Agnan.
**Ekant Mithyatva:** To consider a multi-faceted object as having only one facet is Ekant Mithyatva. For example, "All things are entirely transient" or "All things are eternal."
**Vipreet Mithyatva:** To consider the nature of Dharma, etc., in a reversed manner is Vipreet Mithyatva. For example, "Violence leads to heaven, etc."
**Vinay Mithyatva:** To have the same understanding of the scriptures, the Dev, the Guru, and their teachings, both in the case of Samyagdrishti and Mithyadrishti, is Vinay Mithyatva.
**Sanshay Mithyatva:** To not be certain about either of the two types of objects, appropriate and inappropriate, is called Sanshay Mithyatva.
**Agnan Mithyatva:** To not understand the nature of the soul, etc., in a specific way, such as "This is what they are," "This is how they are," is called Agnan Mithyatva.

2. "By abandoning Mithyatva, one abandons the false and attains the true. This is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of Samsara."
