There is no right conduct without right belief, and it must · be cultivated for obtaining right faith; righteousness and conduct originate together or righteousness precedes conduct. 1 Samyakdarsana is of two kinds : (1) belief with attachment, having the following signs: calmness (prašama), fear of mundane existence in five cycles of wanderings ( samvega ), substance (dravya ), place (ksetra ), time (kāla ), thought-activity (bhāva ) and compassion towards all living beings (anukampa ); and the second kind of samyakdarsana is belief without attachment (the purity of the soul itself ). The right belief is attained by intuition and acquisition of knowledge from external souroes, it is the result of subsidence ( upasama ), destruction-subsidence (ksayopasama ) and destruction of right belief deluding karma (darsanamohaniya karma ).

It is attained by means of praināņa and nnya. Pramāṇa is nothing but direct or indirect evidence for testing the knowledge of the self and the non-self. Naya is nothing but & standpoint which gives partial knowledge of a thing in some of its aspects.

Knowledge ( antarāya),” belief, charity, gain, enjoyment, re-enjoyment power, faith and conduct are the nine kinds of energies (viryas. ).
