How can, then, killing of animals for sacrifice bring any good here or here-atter to the killer or the killed or indeed to any body else ? No example could be a more patent illustration of perverse belief,

3. Vinaya faha-Veneration of false creeds-becomes source of Mithyātva.
True veneration is always the due of real and miversal Truth, and of those who have realised it themselves, and are capable of helping others to realise it.
When this veneration is paid to a lesser doctrine or person, it is a sign that the belief which inspires it, is not right. When ignorant or superstitious people worship Sitlā Mātā to remove their Small-pox or to give them children; or even educated or scientific people claim provisional or incomplete truth to be whole and eternal truth, and venerate it as such, their veneration cannot be called Right Belief; because it is directed towards a partially or wholly wrong matter.
4. Samśaya érte, Doubtful Belief, is that form of Mithyatva in which an individual has doubts in the doctrines and teachings of the Tirthaikaras; whether all the Darśanas are trust-worthy or not or whether this or that teaching is trustworthy or not, or whether, such a thing as heaven, hell or the fruit of previous Karmas, exists or does not exist.
When a nian is not sure about the ultmate right or wrong view of his belief, he is said to have a wrong belief due to doubt.
5. Ajñāna 1a Indiscriminate Belief. An indiscriminate belief or absence of knowledge, to whatever cause it may be due,
