depletion or destruction. They do not consider the existence of a thing
to be the consequence of some combination or coincidence. They believe in its basic eternality or fundamental stability. According to

As a child's sins are pardonable because of his ignorance, in the same way the god pardons the ignorant for all his sins. A crime committed with knowledge deserves punishment, therefore ignorance is desirable and best. These are said to be of 67 types.
(d) Vinayavadi-They believe that animals and birds, flowers and leaves, sage and ignorant, small and large, all are worth respect and worship. To consider oneself to be humbler than the humblest and to respect every one is the means to liberation. They are said to be of 32 types.
