## Introduction
[21]
Holding forgiveness even when wronged, serving the gurus, and following vows and conduct are signs of the black *leshya*. Not being partial to anyone, not having attachment or aversion, keeping one's tendencies calm, remaining constantly cheerful, serving Dharma without seeking results (fruits), and having equanimity towards all beings are signs of the white *leshya*. From the first to the fourth *guna-sthana*, beings have all six *leshyas* as much as possible. Further, from the seventh *guna-sthana* onwards, three auspicious *leshyas* like yellow are found, and from the eighth to the thirteenth *guna-sthana*, there is the white *leshya*. Beings in the fourteenth *guna-sthana* and the liberated beings are called *aleshya* because they are free from the stain of *leshyas*. Thus, the investigation of beings through *leshyas* is called *leshya-margana*.
## *Bhavya-tva-margana*
[11] Those beings who have the potential to attain liberation, who are destined to manifest the qualities of right faith, etc., within themselves when the opportunity arises, are called *bhavya*. However, there are also some beings in the world who, even when given the best external opportunities, will never develop their inner qualities, nor will they ever attain right faith, etc. They are called *abhavya*. *Abhavya* beings have only the first *guna-sthana* of wrong faith, and they cannot rise above it or attain liberation. *Bhavya* beings have all the *guna-sthana*. Liberated beings are free from the categories of *bhavya* and *abhavya*. Thus, through this *margana*, all beings are investigated.
## *Samyak-tva-margana*
[12] Right faith is called *samyak-tva*. The objects of right faith are the *apta*, the *agama*, and the *padartha*. Firm faith, interest, or conviction in these is called right faith. This is a characteristic in relation to the practical approach. In relation to the definitive approach, right faith is defined as the experience of the true nature of the soul by turning the outward gaze inward, recognizing the soul as distinct from all other objects, and becoming established in that experience. There are three types of right faith: *aupashamika samyak-tva*, *kshayika samyak-tva*, and *kshayopashamika* or *vedaka samyak-tva*. The nature of these three has been explained earlier. *Aupashamika samyak-tva* is found from the fourth to the eleventh *guna-sthana*. *Kshayopashamika* is found from the fourth to the seventh *guna-sthana*, and *kshayika samyak-tva* is found in beings from the fourth to the fourteenth *guna-sthana* and in the liberated beings. Those whose right faith is lost due to the arising of the *karma* of wrong faith, and whose faith is mixed with both right faith and wrong faith, are called *samyak-mithya-drishti*. Such beings have the third *guna-sthana*. Those whose right faith has been destroyed by the arising of the *kashya* of infinite attachment, but who have not yet reached the *guna-sthana* of wrong faith, are called *sasadan-samyak-drishti*. They have the second *guna-sthana*. Beings who have the arising of the *karma* of wrong faith are called *mithya-drishti*. They have the first *guna-sthana*. Thus, the nature of right faith...
