the practical method, and takes a higher view equally distinct from both, obtains the full fruit of the teaching.
श्रद्धानं परमार्थानामाप्तागमतपोभृताम । विमढापोढमष्टाङ्गं सम्यग्दर्शनमस्मयम ॥ ४॥ Ratnakarandu-srāva kāchārya, by Samanta-bhadra
Uchārya, 1. Right faith (or perception) consists in believing the trne ideal (āpta), scriptures (agama), and teacher (guru). Such right faith is free from the three follies, has eight members, and no pride.
NOTE.—The three follies relate to false gods (deva), place (loku, e.g. bath in the Ganges will wash off sins), and teacher (guru). The eight members (angas) are freedom from doubt, from desire for worldly comforts, from aversion to or regard for the body, etc., from inclination for the wrong path ; redeeming the defects of ineffective believers ; sustaining souls in right conviction, loving regard for pious persons, and publishing the greatness of Jaina doctrines. Their names are nih sarkitu, nishkārkshita, nirvichikitsita, amīdhadrishti, i pagūhana, sthitikarana, vatsalya, prabhāvanā. The eight kinds of pride are pride in family (kula), connexions (jñāti), strength (bala), beauty (sundaratā), knowledge (jñāna), wealth (dhana), anthority (ājñā),
asceticism (tupah). 69. जो चरदि णादि पेच्छ दि अप्पाणं अप्पणो अणरण मयं । सो चारित्तं णाणं दंसणमिदि णिच्छिदो होदि ॥ १६२॥
Panchāstikāya, 162. He who acts, knows, and realizes himself through himself as in no way distinct (from the attributes of perfect knowledge, etc.) becomes convinced as to conduct, knowledge, and faith.
