The divergence of opinion regarding the definition also [is as follows]: direct perception is conceptual alone, according to the Grammarians, Bārhaspatyas, and others; it is conceptual and non-conceptual, according to the Naiyāyikas, Mīmāṃsakas, and others; a cognition of a yellow conch-shell and the like, though erroneous, is direct perception, according to the partialists (aṃśavādavādins); inference is born from a logical reason having a single characteristic, according to the shameless ones (ahrīkas); it is born from a logical reason having six characteristics, according to the early adherents of the Yoga; it is born from a logical reason having five characteristics, and [according to some] born from a logical reason having four characteristics, according to the Naiyāyikas.
