In Jain philosophy, the number of times these three types of samyaktva can arise in a jeev’s anant bhav-bhraman is understood like this:

1. Kṣāyik Samyaktva (क्षायिक सम्यक्त्व)

- This arises only once in the entire journey of a soul. - Reason: Kṣāyik samyaktva means permanent right faith due to complete destruction of darshan-mohaniya karma. - Once this happens, samyaktva can never be lost again, and the soul must go to moksha within a limited number of future births. So there is no second time for kṣāyik samyaktva.

1. Kṣayopaśamik Samyaktva (क्षयोपशमिक सम्यक्त्व)

- This is a mixed state: some deluding karma destroyed, some only suppressed. - It is temporary and can be broken (samyaktva-bhaṅg), so the soul may again fall to mithyātva. - Therefore, it can arise many times in the long wandering of the soul. The scriptures do not fix a finite count like “only 2 or 3 times”; it is treated as anant-bār sambhav (potentially innumerable times).

1. Upaśamik Samyaktva (उपशमिक सम्यक्त्व)

- Here right faith arises only by suppression of darshan-mohaniya karma, not by its destruction. - It is the most fragile; when suppression ends, samyaktva can disappear. - Hence, like kṣayopaśamik, upaśamik samyaktva may also arise innumerable times during bhav-bhraman; there is no fixed upper limit given.

Summary in simple words

• Kṣāyik samyaktva – Exactly once in the whole journey; after that, no fall from samyaktva.
• Kṣayopaśamik samyaktva – Can come and go many times; count is not fixed.
• Upaśamik samyaktva – Also can come and go many times; count is not fixed.

So, among the three, only kṣāyik samyaktva has a definite “once-only” rule; the other two are temporary and can arise again and again as long as the soul is in saṃsār.
