(व्यवहार सम्यक्त्व और निश्चय सम्यक्त्व)
219. Right faith (samyak-Darshan) is best (excellent) of (all) the three jewels: that is why, it has been designated as the root of the great tree of salvation, it is of two kinds Real and practical.
220. Shri Jin-deva has affirmed Righteousness (Right-faith) s faith in elements (i.e. soul) from practical stand point. (But) from real stand point, right faith consists of soul.

222. One, without Righteousness (does not attain enlightenment/perfect Knowledge) inspite of hard and difficult (austerities for billions of years).
223. He is (really) fallen down, who is faller from Right-faith. One, fallen down from Right faith, attains salvation. Right believers with out Right conduct are capable of attaining salvation (by resorting to Right conduct): but those without Right faith, are unable to do so.
224. (Actually) those who have purified them selves by right faith (alone) attain salvation. Persons without Right faith, are incapable to attaine the desired end (i.e. Salvation).
225. In case, one faces the dialemma of selecting between righteousness and the kingdom of three worlds, he should (unhesitatingly) select the former (i.e. salvation).
226. What more to say? All the good people (srestha-jana) who attained salvation in the past could do so and all those who shall attain salvation in future should do so because of the magnificence (glory) of Righteousness (alone).
227. Just as a lotus leaf does not get submerged in water, an account of its very nature; similarly good persons (satpurusa/varacious persons) do not get submerged in (or lost in) passions and senses subjects, on account of the influence of Righteousness (on them).
228. The enjoyment (consumption) of the animate and animate substances, by the Right believer, with his sense organs whatsoever it be contributes to the shedding of his Karmas.
229. There are persons, who do not enjoy sensual pleasures in spite of their actual indulgence in them: on the country, there are others, who enjoy sensual pleasures, without actually indulging in them They are comparable to such guests who participate in the rites and rituals of a marriage ceremony but who can not be held responsible for marriage as they are not masters of that ceremony.
230. (In the same manner) the desires (lust) and their fulfillment neither produces equanimity not do they produce deformities and inequalitie. He (alone) produces such deformities and inequalities who is in any way attached with the desires and their fulfillment.
