**Sarvarthasiddhi**
[1123 8 218 - The utilization of the self, arising from the connection with another's mind, due to the absence of the obscurations of knowledge, their subsidence, and the support of the anga and upanga karmas, is called **manaḥparyaya** (mental perception).
**Question:** If it is said that this is **matijñāna** (knowledge of the mind), then what?
**Answer:** The answer to this has been given earlier. Here, there is only an expectation of the mind. It is only expected that the meaning established in another's mind is known by this.
In this, **ṛjūmati** (straight-minded) **manaḥparyaya** perceives two or three **bhavas** (existences) in the past, and seven or eight **bhavas** in the future, with respect to time. With respect to space, it perceives the extent of a **gavyu** (a measure of distance) in the past, and the interior of a **yojana** (a measure of distance) in the future, not beyond.
**Vipulmati** (wide-minded) **manaḥparyaya** perceives seven or eight **bhavas** in the past, and countless **bhavas** in the future, with respect to time. With respect to space, it perceives the extent of a **yojana** in the past, and the interior of a **mānuṣottaraśala** (a mountain beyond the human realm) in the future, not beyond.
219. To further explain the difference between these two, the following sūtra is stated:
**viśuddhyāpratipātābhyāṁ tadviśeṣaḥ ||24||**
[The difference between these two is due to purity and non-perception.]
8220. When the obscurations of knowledge and their subsidence are present, there is purity in the self. **Pratipatana** (perception) is **pratipāta** (non-perception).
**Manaḥparyaya** is the knowledge that arises in the self due to the connection with another's mind, from the subsidence of the obscurations of knowledge and the support of the **anga** and **upanga** karmas.
**Question:** This knowledge arises from the connection with the mind, so does it become **matijñāna** (knowledge of the mind)?
**Answer:** No, because the answer to this question has been given earlier. That is, here there is only an expectation of the mind. It is only expected that the meaning established in another's mind is known by this.
Of these, **ṛjūmati** **manaḥparyaya** perceives two or three **bhavas** (existences) in the past, and seven or eight **bhavas** in the future, with respect to time. With respect to space, it perceives the extent of a **gavyu** (a measure of distance) in the past, and the interior of a **yojana** (a measure of distance) in the future, not beyond.
**Vipulmati** **manaḥparyaya** perceives seven or eight **bhavas** in the past, and countless **bhavas** in the future, with respect to time. With respect to space, it perceives the extent of a **yojana** in the past, and the interior of a **mānuṣottaraśala** (a mountain beyond the human realm) in the future, not beyond.
