**Discussion of Prābyantara-avadhi and Bāhyāvadhi:**
**Nature and Explanation:**
The avadhijnān which illuminates its own field of manifestation in all beings is called prābyantara-avadhi. The avadhijnānī who resides within the illuminated field is also called prābyantara-avadhi. The opposite of this is called bāhyāvadhi.
**Bāhyāvadhi** is of two types: **Antargata** and **Madhyagata**.
**Antargata** is that which is located within the **ātma-pradeśa** (the region of the soul). It is located in the **paryanta** (the boundary) of the **ātma-pradeśa**.
When avadhijnān arises, it arises as a **spardhaka**. A **spardhaka** is like the light of a lamp that shines out through a window lattice, a specific form of **niyatavicchedha** (definite separation).
These **spardhaka** are numerous and varied in a being. The **paryantavarti** (boundary-reaching) **spardhaka** arises in the **ātma-pradeśa** in front, behind, below, or above, and becomes located in the **paryanta** of the **ātma**. This is why it is called **antargata**.
Alternatively, the **antargata** is that which is located in the **audārika śarīra** (the physical body). It is called **antargata** because it knows the **audārika śarīra** in a particular direction.
Or, even after **kṣayopśama** (cessation of karmic afflictions) in all **ātma-pradeśa**, the avadhijnān that is known in a particular direction of the **audārika śarīra** is called **antargata**.
**Antargata** is of three types: (1) **Puraḥ** (front), (2) **Pṛṣṭhaḥ** (back), (3) **Pārvaḥ** (side).
**Madhyagata** is that which is located in the **ātma-pradeśa**.
