After having acquired Samyaktva, an individual is likely to lose it, but eventually there results a comparative decrease in the impurity of his former thoughts, speech and actions. Explaining this idea, the sages say 'If a person falls from Samyag Darshana, he falls from its co-existing Samyag Juana (4) Right Knowledge and Samyag Charitra (4saula) Right Conduct that is to say, a person falling from Samyag Darshana to Mithyatva does not possess Samyag Jnana (4) Right Knowledge and Samyag charitra (a) Right Conduct. Persons like Bharata chakravarti may reach Final Liberation without (sauka) Dravya charitra e. g. ul-without undergoing the life of an ascetic, still, persons like Añgaramardaka (24) and Vinayaratna (a) not possessing Samyag Darshana (2) were not able to enjoy the eternal bliss of Final Liberation. It was also through the possession of Samyag Darshana (4) that Krishna Vasudeva and Shrenika Maharaja became known as Samyagdrishti Shravaks. It thus appears beyond doubt, that Samyag Darshana (2) is the chief motive power in drawing Final Liberation nearer and nearer. Most Revered Umasvati maharaja commences his monumental work "Tattvartha Sutra" with the Sútra સમ્યગ્દર્શનજ્ઞાનચારિત્રાણિ મેાક્ષમા Right belief, Right knowledge and Right conduct (together constitute) the path to Liberation." In this first Sutra of the work Samyag Darshana has been deservedly given the most prominent place.
