c8.7

³ Ab. K., i, 16. *Cittam vijānāti*, Asl., p. 42 = "is aware variously" (M. Ting), must have the same import, if any. Cf. the Sānkhya definition of *pratyakṣa* in *Sānkhya-kārikā*, 5: *prativiṣay-ādhyavasāyo dṛṣṭam*, where we have likewise the distributive *prati-*, but *vijñāna = vijñaptiḥ*, since it is in the Sānkhya system represented by *puruṣa* (cf. below, Theory of Cognition, p. 63), is replaced by *adhyavasāya*—the function of the internal organ (synthesis).
