In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina Yogaūḍhṛṣṭi (मूढदृष्ट�) refers to an aspect of ٳٱ (false belief) as defined by Amitagati in his 11th century Śrāvakācāra. Accordingly, ūḍh-ṛṣṭi refers to the false belief where the divinity, the guru, and the dharma are sullied by passion and violence. This is equivalent to the ṛhīٲ of the previous list, or the Dz첹 of the first list. Mithyātva refers to the direct opposite of samyaktva, and is defined by Hemacandra in his 12th century Yogaśāstra verse 2.17 as belief in false divinities, false gurus, and false scriptures.
This ūḍh-ṛṣṭi which is more properly one of the doṣas of samyaktva is presented in a more detailed form in the category of the three ūḍh or foolish ideas relating to the divinity, to the teacher and to worldly life. These seem to be listed only by the Digambaras but Hemacandra and other Śvetāmbaras find the same opportunity for criticizing the superstitions of other religions when they discuss the nature of the ku-deva, ku-guru, and -śٰ.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
