These four proclamations appear in the Uttaraadhyayana Suutra:
"Paramatthasanthavo vaa suditthaparamatthasevanaa vaa vi
vaavannakudansanavajjanaa ia sammattasadahanaa."
- Uttaraadhyayana Suutra; Verse 2.28.28 (Page 149, Author: Lilambai Mahasatiji, Publisher: Gurupraana Foundation, (Parasdham, Ghatakopar) Mumbai, year 2009)
2) Three Insignia (Linga):
These are evident in the behaviour of one who has attained samyaktva.
1) Shrutaanuraaga (love and devotion towards Jain scriptures}
Just as the youth are crazy about parties and sensual indulgence, one who has attained samyaktva (enlightened perception) is enthusiastic about listening to scriptural sermons.
2) Dharmaanuraaga (love and devotion towards the Jain dharma)
Just as a starving man would be thrilled to be able to wolf down an unlimited quantity of khiira (traditional Indian sweet made of milk, sugar, rice, almonds and saffron), similarly, one who has attained samyaktva listens to the teachings of the supremely detached Jinaas and takes great pleasure in paying obeisance to the Jain dharma.
3) Devaguru Vaiyaavaccha (serving God and the preceptor}
Just as an illiterate person would be delighted at the opportunity to learn and would be willing to serve his teacher hand and foot, one who has attained samyaktva would be thrilled to be able serve the Jinaas and the preceptors who follow in the footsteps of the Jinaas.
3) Ten Vinaya:
Vinaya means the propriety of conduct. Deep respect and lasting devotion towards the true god (Tirthankaras), the true scriptures (the scriptures which record the teachings of the Jinaas), the true teacher (ascetics who have completely renounced the world and taken the 5 major vows) and the true dharma (Jainism) leads to the attainment of samyaktva.
Vinaya towards samyaktva requires faith, belief, trust, devotion, commitment, adoration, honour, reverence and high esteem for the supremely detached Jinaas, detached preceptors and the religion taught by the omniscient Jinaas.
The Bhagavati Suutra describes 10 types of Vinayas. They are:
1) Arihanta Vinaya - veneration, devotion and reverence for the embodied omniscient teachers.
2) Siddha Vinaya - veneration, devotion and reverence for liberated omniscient beings.
