The five types of knowledge, starting with *panchaastikaya*, along with their meanings and explanations (including *aabhini sadho thi manakevalaani*): *mati*, *shruta*, *avadhi*, *manahparyaya*, and *kevala* (these five are called *panchabheyaani*). These five are the different forms (called *naanaani*) of right knowledge. There are eight types of knowledge in total, which are combined (called *sanjutte*) with three types of ignorance (called *kumadhisudavibhangani*): *kumati*, *kushrut*, and *vibhanga* [these three are called *tinni vi naanehi*].
**Specific Meaning:** Just as the sun is one, but its light appears different due to the covering of clouds, similarly, the soul is also whole and one in its true nature, but it appears to be different due to the coverings of karma. Therefore, there are many types of knowledge, such as *sumati* knowledge, etc.
**End of the verse explaining the eight types of knowledge.** The next six verses do not have any commentary available, so they are presented separately from 1 to 6.
**Verse 1 of the Sanskrit Commentary:** Now, the five types of knowledge, starting with *mati*, are explained in five verses. As follows:
*mati* knowledge is threefold: *uvaladdhi*, *bhavana*, and *uavogo*. It is also fourfold, with *darshanapuvva* being the first.
**Verse 1 of the Hindi Commentary:** The next five verses explain the nature of the five types of knowledge, starting with *mati*. These verses are not found in the commentary by Amrit Chandra.
*mati* knowledge is threefold: *uvaladdhi*, *uavogo*, and *bhavana*.
