lodha 2. Parināma-mithyātva : is the mithyātva in some actual state of mind ; the mind is actually in some state which you call mithyātva, so that the mind is modified by reason of this mithyātva. There are five kinds, namely those five which were given among the 55 causes of the generation of karma.
3. Prarupanā-mithyātva : is the speaking of the mithyātva or the teaching of it ; you actually say something ; your belief is expressed in words, either for yourself or for others. For instance, if you call true dharma false dharma ; false dharma true dharma ; or that the sacrifice of animals leads to the highest state.
4. Pravarthana-mithyātva : is when you act out your wrong belief; it is the action resulting from the three previous stages of mithyātva.
