The Lord asked: 鈥業s it possible to know the limit of praise (辫谤补艣补峁僺腻) of these pavilions?鈥�. 艢膩riputra replied: 鈥業 cannot understand, Lord, the limit of praise of these pavilions until the end of my life鈥� The Lord said: 鈥樑毮乺iputra, just as this whole assembly, having gone to the sky, appear to enter the well-adorned pavilion, in the same way they enter into the pavilion in the Mah膩vy奴ha universe鈥�.鈥�.

General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-samgraha笔谤补艣补峁僺腻 (啶啶班ざ啶傕じ啶�, 鈥減raise鈥�) refers to one of the 鈥渆ight worldly conditions鈥� (lokadharma) as defined in the Dharma-sa峁僩raha (section 61).

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina Yoga笔谤补艣补峁僺腻 (啶啶班ざ啶傕じ啶�, 鈥渁dmiration鈥�) or Para-p膩峁峁囜笉i-辫谤补艣补峁僺腻 refers to 鈥渁dmiration of adherents of other creeds鈥� and represents an aspect of samyaktva (right belief) classified under the 补迟颈肠腻谤补 heading, according to various Jain authors. The distinction between the fourth (辫谤补艣补峁僺腻) and fifth (蝉补峁僺迟补惫补) 补迟颈肠腻谤补s seems artificial. As has been noted they both have for antonym the 补峁単补 of 补尘奴岣峢补-诲峁涐梗峁璱 and in fact Somadeva, in his Ya艣astilaka, couples them together under the designation of 补苍测补-艣濒腻驳丑腻 or 尘奴岣峢补迟腻. With that exception the Digambaras (for example, C膩mu峁囜笉ar膩ya, in his Caritras膩ra) define 辫谤补艣补峁僺腻 as 鈥減raise expressed in the mind鈥� and 蝉补峁僺迟补惫补 as 鈥減raise expressed in words鈥�. The 艢vet膩mbaras (Yoga艣膩stra 2.17) interpret 辫谤补艣补峁僺腻 as 鈥減raise鈥� and 蝉补峁僺迟补惫补 as 鈥渁cquaintance鈥�. Siddhasena Ga峁噄n (in his commentary on the Tattv膩rtha-s奴tra v7.19), however, prefers the Digambara explanation.
For many writers these two 补迟颈肠腻谤补s (Para-p膩峁峁囜笉i-辫谤补艣补峁僺腻 and Para-p膩峁峁囜笉i-蝉补峁僺迟补惫补) give an occasion to describe and criticize the false beliefs of other sects鈥�180 varieties of 办谤颈测补-惫腻诲颈苍蝉 y 84 of a办谤颈测补-惫腻诲颈苍蝉, 67 of 补箩帽腻苍颈办补蝉, and 32 of vainayikas are listed鈥攑articularly the Buddhists and 艢aivas.
The 补迟颈肠腻谤补s of samyaktva (e.g., para-p膩峁峁囜笉i-辫谤补艣补峁僺腻) may virtually, if the fourth and fifth of them which are closely related are merged together, be equated with the first four 诲辞峁蝉. Both 补迟颈肠腻谤补s and 诲辞峁蝉 represent the negation of the 补峁単补s. P奴jyap膩da holds that it is in any event unnecessary to have eight 补迟颈肠腻谤补s corresponding to the eight 补峁単补s as the fourth and fifth鈥�para-p膩峁峁囜笉i-辫谤补艣补峁僺腻 and para-p膩峁峁囜笉i-蝉补峁僺迟补惫补鈥攁re elastic and comprehensive.
: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 7: The Five Vows笔谤补艣补峁僺腻 (啶啶班ざ啶傕じ啶�, 鈥渁dmiration鈥�) according to the 2nd-century Tattv膩rthas奴tra 7.23.鈥擶hat is the difference between praise (蝉补峁僺迟补惫补) and admiration (辫谤补艣补峁僺腻)? Praise is basically expression by speech while administration is a mental process by the person for other鈥檚 attributes.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
