There are two types of knowledge, namely, non-verbal and verbal, or, respectively, word-born and gender-born. Of these, verbal knowledge is the main one. The knowledge whose object is the duration (limit) of substance, space, time, and emotion is called Avadhi-knowledge. Because of the duration (limit) of the object, it is also called "limit-knowledge" in the Paramatma. It has two types, namely, Bhava-pratyaya and Guna-pratyaya. The knowledge of the object that is in the mind of another, which has been contemplated in the past, or which will be contemplated in the future, or which is half-contemplated, is called Manah-paryaya-knowledge. This knowledge is only for the restrained beings within the human realm. The knowledge that knows all the objects of the three worlds simultaneously is called Kevala-knowledge.
Now, to speak specifically about Mati-knowledge and Shruta-knowledge, the Uttar-sutra says:
"Mdi-annaani suda-annaani eindaia-pphudi jaav saasan-samm-aititti." ||116||
The ignorant of Mati and the ignorant of Shruta are from one-sense to the Saasan-samyag-drishti guna-sthana. ||116||
Now, to specifically expound on Vibhang-knowledge, the Uttar-sutra says:
"Vibhang-naanam san-nim-icch-aiti-thinaam va saasan-samm-aiti-thinaam va." ||117||
Vibhang-knowledge is for the beings of the San-ni-mithya-drishti and the Saasan-samyag-drishti. ||117||
Since this Vibhang-knowledge is Bhava-pratyaya, it should be present in both the sufficient and insufficient states. To resolve this doubt, the Uttar-sutra says:
"Paj-jattaanam atthi, ap-aj-jattaanam natthi." ||118||
That Vibhang-knowledge is for the sufficient ones, not for the insufficient ones. ||118||
The meaning is that the Deva and Naraka paryayas with the insufficient state are not the cause of Vibhang-knowledge, but the Deva and Naraka paryayas with the sufficient state are the cause of that Vibhang-knowledge. Therefore, it is not present in them during the insufficient time.
Now, to expound on knowledge in the Samyag-mithya-drishti guna-sthana, the Uttar-sutra says:
"Samm-a-michch-aiti-ththane tin-ni vi naan-aani an-naan-ena miss-aani - a-bhi-ni-bohi-ya-naanam mdi-annaan-ena miss-ayam suda-naanam suda-annaan-ena miss-ayam ohi-naanam vibhang-naan-ena miss-ayam, tin-ni vi naan-aani an-naan-ena [an-naani naan-ena] miss-aani va idi." ||119||
In the Samyag-mithya-drishti guna-sthana, all three types of knowledge are mixed with ignorance - Abhinibodhik-knowledge is mixed with Mati-ignorance, Shruta-knowledge is mixed with Shruta-ignorance, and Avadhi-knowledge is mixed with Vibhang-knowledge. Or, all three types of knowledge are mixed with ignorance [ignorance knowledge]. ||119||
