that Kovala Darsana is the -general condition and Kerala Jhala the particular condition of one and the same attribute; it is only one attribute. The three learned Ācāryas had their own way of reasoning by giving prominence to one Naya and keeping other Nayas as secondary.
The three very lerrned Acāryas bad a very staunch, unshakeable faith in the doctrines and teachings of the Tirthankaras and hence Ābhinivèsika safafata Mithyātva is not applicable to then.
4. Sāmśayika pia Mithyātva is that form of Mithyātva in which an individual has doubts in the doctrines and teachings of the Tirthankaras, whether all the Darśanas in the world are trustworthy or not, or whether this or that particular teaching is trustworthy or not. Even in the minds of highly talented and most considerate Sadhus, some doubts do arise, with regard to minor details, but, that in itself, is not sufficient to cause Sārimsayika HifT Mithyātva, since they invariably always had perfect faith in the teachings of the Tîrthankaras and they always abided with the Maxim“ Tawera saccam nisamkam jam Jiņdhim pavaiyam "Jha a gå š fstütfe cero" That undoubtedly is the Truth which is promulgated by the Tirthankaras
5. Anabhogika spararfota Mithyātva is that form of Wrong Belief wbich is acquired by a living being by birth or by contact. Just as one-sensed gasfosse Ekenariya or Vikalendriya fare free two or more-sensed, and A-sanjni Pancèndriya áfu afaceMindless five-sensed bodies, bave no belief in the doctrines and teachings of the Tirthankaras
मिथ्यात्वं परमो रोगो मिथ्यात्वं परमं तमः ।
मिथ्यात्वं परमः शत्रुर्मिथ्यात्वं पदमापदाम् ॥१॥ 1. Mithyātvam paramo rogo, Mithyātvam paranam tamah;
Mithyātvam paramah satru-r-Mithyātvam padanápadām.
1. Mithyatva farura, Wrong Belief is a terrible disease; Mithyatva is great darkness; Mithyātva is a great eneny; and Mithyātva is the source of miseries.
