and right conduct) constituting the path are the three jewels or 'Ratnatraya'. This Ratnatraya is spoken to be of two kinds. Niscaya Ratnatraya and vyavahāra ratnatraya. The former is from the absolute point of view and the latter is of relative point of view. Ni'scaya ratnatraya - निश्चय रत्नत्रय When the ratnatraya is distinctly based upon self then it is Ni scaya ratnatraya. Dar sana, Jnana and Caritra, all have reference to self and self alone. This niscaya ratnatraya first implies the belief in the ultimate nature and importance of self i.e. the belief that paramātmā is nothing but self. Again consequent upon this firm belief there must be knowledge of self. Complete knowledge of self is the next element of Ni scaya Ratnatraya. The knowledge of all other tattvas centres round the personality. Knowledge of the person therefore is knowledge par-excellence. And lastly realisation of the Parmatmā or the great person would be caritra par - excellence.
