Dṛṣṭiyoga (दृष्टियोग) refers to the “afflicted views yoke” and represents one of the four yokes (yoga), according to Dharmaśrī’s Abhidharmahṛdaya 86 and the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya 196, 200-3.—Accordingly, “[...] There are: (1) The desire flood (kāmaugha) = five attachments, five hostilities, five conceits, four doubts and ten envelopments: in total twenty-nine real entities. (2). The existence flood (bhavaugha) = ten attachments, ten conceits, eight doubts = twenty-eight real entities. (3). The afflicted views flood (dṛṣṭyogha) = twelve afflicted views of the three realms = thirty-six real entities. (4). The ignorance flood (avidyaugha) = five ignorances of the three realms = fifteen real entities. [...] The same for the yokes (yoga) [e.g., the afflicted views yoke (dṛṣṭiyoga)]”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Dṛṣṭiyoga (दृष्टियोग) refers to the “application of right faith”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Yogis continually drive away desire and dislike through equanimity or through the state of non-attachment, and they drive away wrong faith through the application of right faith (dṛṣṭiyoga—mithyātvaṃ dṛṣṭiyogena nirākurvanti). Those who know the self certainly destroy mental darkness, which is produced by the great quantity of ignorance [and] is a barrier to reality, with the sunbeams of knowledge”.

Note: The Hindi explanation (JA[S] 3rd ed. p. 67) of this verse takes the word dṛṣṭi here to mean samyagdṛṣṭi, otherwise known as samyagdarśana or “right faith”.—(Cf. Umāsvāti’s Tattvārtha Sūtra 1.1, Tatia, 1994:5; Cf. Cort 2001:7,19 and 2002:721; Cf. Qvarnstrom 2002:7).

context information

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.
