(Intellectual knowledge, scriptural knowledge, clairvoyance, mind-reading capability and omniscience are five types of knowledge. They can be classified in two categories, The first two types are indirect, the remaining are direct.)
These sutras stipulate the types of knowledge. Matijnän (intellectual knowledge), Shrutjnän (scriptural knowledge, Avadhijnän (clairvoyance or extra-sensory knowledge), Manahparyäyjnän (mind reading capability) and Kevaljnän (omniscience) are the five types. Matijnän and Shrutjnän are gained by resorting to intelligence, rationale, books, teaching etc., which are external factors. They relate to sensory perception and are therefore termed as indirect. The remaining three arise by virtue of internal purity and are therefore termed as direct.
