**Sarvarthasiddhi**
8181. To understand the specific types of **aviprakara** (non-differentiation) of the **pramana** (means of knowledge) which is stated in both places, it is said:
**Mati**, **Smriti**, **Sanjna**, **Chinta**, and **Abhinibodha** are synonyms. ||13||
8182. 1. Firstly, the knowledge that is stated, its synonyms should be known; because these are the objects of use arising from the **avaranakshaya** (destruction of karmic veils) and **upashama** (sublimation) of **matijnana** (knowledge of the mind), and they are not used in **shruta** (scriptural knowledge) etc. **Manana** is **mati**, **smarana** is **smriti**, **sanjnana** is **sanjna**, **chintana** is **chinta**, and **abhinibodhana** is **abhinibodha**. As far as possible, other **vigraha** (analyses) should be known. 183. Even though there is a difference in their nature, they are synonyms due to the strength of usage. For example, **Indra**, **Shakra**, and **Purandara** are all names for the same **Shachipati** (Lord of Shachi), even though there is a difference in the actions of **Indana** etc. If we consider the meaning of these words according to the **samabhirudha** (common usage) **naya** (principle), then we find a difference in the meaning of **mati** etc. However, the intended meaning here is that they do not transcend the use arising from the **avaranakshaya** and **upashama** of **matijnana**. The word "**iti**" is used to indicate the type. Thus, these are synonyms of **matijnana**. Or, the word "**mati**" is used to indicate the object. According to this, the meaning conveyed by **mati**, **smriti**, **sanjna**, **chinta**, and **abhinibodha** is one and the same.
[1113 § 181
$ 181 **Pramana** is said to have two types: **pratyaksha** (direct perception) and **paroksha** (indirect perception). Now, we will state the next **sutra** (aphorism) to explain the specific types of the first type of **pramana**.
**Mati**, **Smriti**, **Sanjna**, **Chinta**, and **Abhinibodha** are synonyms. || 13u
8182. The knowledge that is stated in the beginning, its synonyms should be known, because these are the objects of use arising from the **avaranakshaya** and **upashama** of **matijnana**, and they are not used in **shruta** etc. **Manana** is **mati**, **smarana** is **smriti**, **sanjnana** is **sanjna**, **chintana** is **chinta**, and **abhinibodhana** is **abhinibodha**. As far as possible, other **vigraha** should be known.
8183. Even though these words have different natures, i.e., even though they are formed from different roots, they are synonyms due to usage. For example, **Indra**, **Shakra**, and **Purandara**. Even though there is a difference in the actions of **Indana** etc., these are all names for the same **Shachipati**. Now, if we consider the meaning of these words according to the **samabhirudha naya**, then we find a difference in the meaning of **mati** etc. However, the intended meaning here is that these **mati** etc. do not transcend the use arising from the **avaranakshaya** and **upashama** of **matijnana**. In the text, the word "**iti**" is used to indicate the type, which means that these **mati** etc. are synonyms of **matijnana**. Or, in the text, the word "**mati**" is used to indicate the object, which means that the meaning conveyed by **mati**, **smriti**, **sanjna**, **chinta**, and **abhinibodha** is one and the same.
**Special Note:** This **sutra** gives the synonyms of **matijnana**. In the **Prakrti Anuyoga** chapter of the **Shatkhandagama**, these are also given as synonyms of **matijnana**. The only difference is that there, instead of **vijnana** (knowledge), the term **abhinibodhikjnana** is used, and then its four synonyms are given: **sanjna**, **smriti**, **mati**, and **chinta**. This makes it worth considering the view of those who interpret the meaning of **mati** as present knowledge, **smriti** as remembered knowledge, **sanjna** as recognition, **chinta** as reasoning, and **abhinibodha** as inference. In reality, these terms refer to various types of knowledge.
