The discussion of *uvaoga* in Pannav. 29 is followed by that of the *pasaṇāyā* (*paśyattā*=*prekṣaṇa*). In Pannav. 30 It is equally called *sāgāra* and *anāgāra*, but we are given but six kinds of cognition and but three kinds of "seeing". That is to say that among the first both the right and the wrong way of imagination (*mai-ṇāṇa* and *-aṇāṇa*) are missing, and among the last the *acakkhu-damsaṇa*. For according to Prajn. the *sākāra paśyattā* refers to all three times, whereas the two *mati* are only concerned with the present, and, moreover, the *anākāra paśyattā* is qualified by its distinctness (*parisphuṭa-rūpa*) which is not the case with the *acaksur-darśana*.
