There are multiple views. The pupil has learnt about such views and knows that every one claims its point of view to be right. It is therefore a problem for him to figure out which view is correct. It seems as if he is in the midst of an intricate thicket and does not know how to come out of it.

Kai Jätimän Moksha Chhe, Kayä Veshamän Moksha:
Teno Nishchay Nä Bane, Ghanä Bhed E Dosh.
Which creed leads to liberation and which attire (dress) leads to it?
It is not possible to decide that because of the multiplicity of views.
