Concisely speaking, there is description of right view in the first section, right knowledge in the second, right austerity in the third, and right conduct in the fourth. The implication of the word 'right view' can be properly understood only through proper linguistic analysis of the meaning of the word 'right'. The word 'right' has been explained in the Niryukti through seven examples which relate to the various potentialities of an object, with respect to the various aspects of its origin in a proper way:* 1. Rightly produced - It is the proper way of doing something. For
example, when it is said that the chariot has been made, it means that the chariot has been produced in a proper way with its parts joined rightly. Moreover the mental health of the maker of the chariot, and also the satisfaction with respect to the chariot being done nicely and quickly, of the person for whom the chariot is made are the
physical fitness of the act of making the chariot." 2. Rightly renovated - For example, when the parts of a piece of
cloth are properly repaired to renovated, it is a physical act that is
properly done. 3. Rightly intermixed - For example, when milk and sugar are properly
mixed in order to make a mixture a good drink for the maker's or also for the drinker's mental satisfaction, it is a case of proper mixture of ingredients. The opposite of it, such as the mixture of sesame seeds and yogurt is an act of improper mixture, because the two ingredients are heterodox elements.
4. Rightly applied - For example, when a particular type of application
is conducive to gain for oneself, it is a case of proper physical application. For example, a medicine for the sick, food for the hungry,
drink for the thirsty. 5. Rightly got rid of - For example, if an article gives pleasure when
it is god rid of, it is a case of proper physical abandonment, e.g.,
when a person is unloaded of a load, it is a case of proper unloading. 6. Right break-up - For example, if the breaking up of a thing solves
any problem, it is a case of right breakage, e.g., when a pot containing yogurt is broken, the problem of the crow is solved. This is a case of proper physical breakage for the crow.
