Elaboration-Although the author has already written the si panegyrics of Tirthankars, Ganadhars and era-leaders in the si beginning, this verse is also considered as a panegyric because it is the first verse of the basic text. In this verse only the names of
different types of knowledge have been given. The details have been 15 4. discussed later in question-answer style.
Jnana or knowledge means to know matter and fundamentals in their true form. The commentator (Vrıttıkar) of this scripture has

about the form of a thing is acquired is known as the process as is said the process of knowing the form of a thing is knowledge The
classical definition is—To know the true form of things as a 4 consequence of kshaya or kshayopsham (extinction or extinction-cum\ suppression) of Jnanavaraniya-karmas (knowledge veiling karma) is 45
called knowledge. Of the five types of knowledge mentioned here the f first four are acquired by extinction-cum-suppression of karma and the fifth by extinction of karma.
The definitions of the five types of knowledge in brief are as follows4 1. Abhinibodhik-jnana or Mati-jnana (sensory knowledge)-To 9 know the apparent form of things coming before the soul by means of 5 five sense organs and mind is called Abhinibodhik-jnana. It is popularly known as Mati-jnana.
2. Shrut-jnana (scriptural knowledge)--To know by hearing ! #sound, word, or speech is called Shrut-jnana. Although this type of
knowledge is also received with the help of sense organs and the i 4 mind, because of the larger involvement of the processes of thinking ज्ञान मीमांसा
