INTRODUCTION
does not grasp even the gross objets with all their modes, The Religion preached by him is I) Twelvefold for laymen or householders and II) Tenfold for monks or houseless (302-4).
I. i) Farsang-puuldhr: A harable cool auntably constituted and qualified, develops Samyaktva or Kight Faith which is of three types: Upagama-, Kşayiks and Ksãyopasanika-samyaktva. Even when Samyaktva is partly attained, there is noope for lapses in it. One endowed with Right Faith necessarily carries conviction about the many-sided reality stated through gevou-fold predication as demanded by the occasion. Through the study of scriptures and by adopting different points of view (naya ) he recognises the nine Padārthas.

A man of Kight Faith iacars no more evil Karmas, and whatever he has in stock from earlier birth he des. troys ( 307-27).
ii) Darsana-srūvaka: A layman of Right Faith in firm in his mind, practises his vows without expocting anything in return (piyona-juriino and is renunciative in his outlook. He does not enjoy abominable items of food and drink, such as flesh, wine etc. which are full of Trasa lives ( 328-9).
ato-stāvaka: A layman with vows practises five Aņuprates and is endowed with Guņavratas and Sikşāv ratas: he is firm, quiet and sensible:
1) He behaves kindly, treating alj others on par with himself; and being introspective and self-critical, he avoids all major sing. He neither commite, nor coinmissions, nor congents to any injury to Trasa beings (i, e.
