इस प्रकार यह नन्दीसूत्र में अंग-प्रविष्ट श्रुतज्ञान का वर्णन और उसमें परोक्षनान का वर्णन + समाप्त हुआ।
Elaboration Concluding the subject by listing the fourteen 15 4 types of shrut-jnana, the author has described the eight qualities of
wisdom that help acquiring shrut-jnana. The subtle indication here is that, as the qualification of a worthy guru lies in the knowledge he u
has, so does the qualification of a listener or a student in these eight 5 qualities. Without ensuring this, imparting of shrut jnana may prove i * to be harmful. It could even be termed as the neglect of shrut. 1 Wisdom is the activity of chetana (the activity of soul evident in 15 to the activity of mind). It absorbs both vices as well as virtues. The of wisdom that absorbs virtues is qualified and capable of getting shrut
inana. The Purvadhar and able sages say that the knowledge of Agams can be acquired only when a student learns with the help of these eight qualities of wisdom near the guru.
The eight qualities are 4 1. Sushrusha-To serve the guru with devotion and a desire to
listen. To pay homage to the guru with devotion before the start of the lesson with an intention to acquire knowledge. After this, to express the desire to acquire knowledge. In absence of this desire to know it is not possible to acquire knowledge.
2. Pratiprichhana-Once the lesson has started and one has 5 listened to the text and meaning, to humbly ask questions if there are 4 any doubts. Without removing doubts neither the meaning is clear $ nor is the knowledge perfect. Curiosity is its vital ingrediant. 45 3. Shravan-When the guru answers the questions, one should $1 listen attentively. If some doubts still remain, one should repeat this process of questioning and listening with attention.
4. Grahan-To commit to memory the knowlcdge acquired 41 through the above process.
5. Tha--To mull over and contemplate the lessons committed to 4 memory so that the acquired knowledge becomes the subject of mind.
In other words a complete command is gained over what has been
