Elaborating vichikitsa (doubt) the commentator (Tika) saysDoubt can be with regard to all the three subjects namely knowledge, perception and conduct. For example-Is the knowledge compiled in the scriptures true or false ? Am I worthy or not? Are the nine fundamentals or the six substances true ? Are the Arihants and Siddhas real or imaginary just for the purpose of invoking fear in our mind ? Would all these harsh austerities discipline, and conduct of five great vows bear any fruits, or it is just a worthless suffering ? These and other such doubts make an aspirant's mind unstable and incapable of profound meditation. This aphorism is the foundation on which the edifice of profound meditation can be raised by removing the despondency born out of skepticism.
Samadhi—profound meditation. This word has four meanings(1) Satisfaction or contentment of the mind, (2) Removal of doubt, (3) Mental concentration, (4) The right or perfect state of mind represented by right perception-knowledge-conduct.
There are numerous interpretation of samadhi found in various Agams. Some are
(1) To remain stable on the path to liberation, (2) Religious meditation in the form of abandoning attachment and aversion, (3) Good health, (4) Happiness and health of mind, (5) Freedom from diseases, (6) Yoga, (7) The process of acquiring right perception (etc.) and getting liberated, (8) Mental concentration, (9) Pious attitude. In the ninth chapter of Dashavaikalika Sutra detailed description of four types of Samadhi is available (vinaya samadhi, shrut samadhi, tapah samadhi, and achar samadhi). सम्यक्-असम्यक् का विवेक
१७०. सढिस्स णं समणुण्णस्स संपव्वयमाणस्स-समियं ति मण्णमाणस्स एगया समिया होइ (१) समियं ति मण्णमाणस्स एगया असमिया होइ (२) असमियं ति मण्णमाणस्स एगया समिया होइ (३) असमियं ति मण्णमाणस्स एगया असमिया होइ (४) समियं ति मण्णमाणस्स समिया वा असमिया वा समिया होइ उवेहाए, असमियं ति मण्णमाणस्स समिया वा असमिया वा असमिया होइ उवेहाए। MCHT: Varu 37821277
