harmed. To believe in the concept that every being loves life, is right perception or right faith. The second lesson contains analysis about validity and nonvalidity of refutations by opposing schools; thus it presents validation of religion. The third lesson describes faultless austerities, therefore it is named Samyak-tap or right austerities. The fourth lesson contains details about right conduct. The commentator (Niryukti) has stated only three types of righteousness of attitude-Samyak-darshan, Samyak-jnana and Samyak-charitra. Of these Samyak-darshan and Samyakcharitra have three categories each—(1) Aupashamik or the one gained through pacification of karmas, (2) Kshayopashamik or the one gained through extinction-cum-pacification of karmas, and (3) Kshayik or the one gained through extinction of karmas. Samyak-jnana has only two categories—(1) Kshayopashamikjnana, and (2) Kshayik-jnana. Thus the four lessons have comprehensively propagated the four types of righteousness of attitude-right perception, right knowledge, right conduct and right austerities.
