श्रुतचरणाभ्यां द्विविधः । सज्ज्ञानदर्शनचरितभेदाद्वा ॥ धर्मस्त्रेधा गदितः। सोऽयं श्रेयापथः समाख्यातः ॥१३॥
Meaning :- That is called a religion which prevents the Soul from entering into or becoming the Non-soul and which keeps the Soul absorbed in the meditation of the Soul and nothing else. Such a religion is twofold, namely. the religion concerned with the scriptures and the religion concerned with the character. The first type is again sub-divided into two categories, namely, that which is confined to knowledge and that which is confined to faith. This is why knowledge, faith and character constitute the threefold trinity of jewels. This trial of jewels is able to beget the result of enancipation. The road leading to absolution is the practical form of religion. (93)
