Identification of Dharma...
They are neither our friends nor our well-wishers, but they (continued from page 20)
are foes and enemies.
Similarly, the word "Samyak" is also misinterpreted as Now we have to evaluate other Dharmas' definitions and "RIGHT." Right too has various meanings, according to make analysis of the word "Religion." Does it convey any Sanskrit v/s English Dictionary. However "Samyak" means comfortable and perfect meaning like what I described above? superlative degree of PURE that is PUREST. And therefore In my opinion the word "Religion" does not convey any we should mention, Right Knowledge, Right faith and Right convincing meaning with reference to definition and Conduct as Samyak Gyan, Samyak Shraddha and Samyak characteristics narrated here.
Charitra or keep PUREST as prefix instead of RIGHT. Now Now let us look for Karma in brief:
why Purest and not Right? Because purest level of Gyan,

"Kriya" (Acting) originates Karma (Action etc.) and this is produced by the operation effected by the soul and therefore it is worth to name as Karma.
