Here is a simple explanation in English:

1. Meaning of Samyaktva

Samyaktva (Samyak Darshan) = Right Faith / Right Vision. It means:

• having correct belief in the true nature of soul, karma, Tirthankars, and Jain path,
• with respect, trust, and without doubt or confusion.

Without Samyaktva, real spiritual progress is not possible.

2. “Dosh” of Samyaktva (Faults that spoil Right Faith)

“Samyaktva ke dosh” = faults that harm or disturb Right Faith. Traditional description (especially in Śvetāmbara texts) talks about 5 main faults / atichars of Samyaktva like:

1. Doubt (Shanka / Sankā)

– Doubting the greatness, qualities, teachings, or existence of Arihants, Siddhas, Jain scriptures, etc.

1. Desire for other deities / paths (Akanksha / Ākāṅkṣā)

– Thinking: “Maybe other gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, etc. will give better results,” getting attracted to non-Jain gods or wrong teachers for worldly benefits.

1. Disrespect to Jain scriptures and path

– Not trusting, or making fun of, or lightly treating Jin-vani (Jain scriptures), vows, pratikraman, etc.

1. Liking wrong beliefs and wrong teachers

– Admiring or following those who teach against non‑violence, against Jain tattvas, or against true conduct.

1. Attachment to wrong practices, rituals for punya

– Running after festivals, rituals, magic, astrology, etc. that are not according to Jain dharma, thinking they themselves are the highest dharma.

Exact naming and counting can vary slightly between Digambar and Śvetāmbara, but the essence is the same: anything that brings doubt, disrespect, or mixing of wrong belief into Samyaktva is called a dosh or atichar of Samyaktva.

3. Meaning of “Atichar” (Atichār) in English

Atichar / Atichār in Jainism means:

> A minor transgression or small slip in observing a vow or conduct.

• It is not a full breaking of the vow,

but a subtle fault that spoils the purity of that vow.

• Each main vow (ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha, and also samyaktva)

has five Atichars – five types of small mistakes to be avoided.

• These are confessed and repented during pratikraman.

Simple English: “Atichar” = small violations / side‑faults of a vow which reduce its purity and bind karma.
