Ācārya Amộtacandra's Puruşārthasiddhyupāya: कारणकार्यविधानं समकालं जायमानयोरपि हि । दीपप्रकाशयोरिव सम्यक्त्वज्ञानयोः सुघटम् ॥३४॥ समान काल में अर्थात् एक काल में उत्पन्न हुए भी सम्यग्दर्शन और सम्यग्ज्ञान में कारण-कार्य भाव, दीप और प्रकाश के समान भले प्रकार घटित होता है।
Surely right faith (samyagdarśana) and right knowledge (samyagjñāna) arise in the soul simultaneously, still there exists the relationship of cause and effect between the two, as between the lamp and the light.
To say that faith (darśana) is attained after acquisition of knowledge (ñāna) is not correct as the two - faith (darśana) and knowledge (ñana) - are attained by the soul simultaneously. When the clouds disappear the heat and the light of the sun are manifested simultaneously. Similarly, when right faith is attained by the soul owing to the subsidence (upaśama), destruction (kşaya) or destruction-cum-subsidence (kşayopaśama) of the faith-deluding (darśanamohanīya) karmas, right sensory-knowledge (matijñāna) and right scriptural-knowledge (śrutajñāna) are attained at the same time due to the removal of wrong sensory-and scriptural-knowledge.1
