The Sacred Books of the Jainas

The knowledge which is partially clear is Sānvyavahārika Pratyakșa and the knowledge which is fully clear is Mukhya or Pāramārthika Pratyakşa'.
Sanvyavahāra is the perfect satisfaction of a desire to cognize?. That which arises from Sanvyavahāra is called Sānvyavahārika The knowledge in Sānvyavahārika Pratyakşa being partially clear, it is also called Amukhya Pratyakşa as opposed to Mukhya Pratyakșa where the knowledge is fully clear.
Sānvyavahārika Pratyakşa is caused by Indriya and Anindriya. According to Jainism, the Indriyas ( senses ) are five viz. touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing”. Mind is called Anindriya or No-indriya. But by this distinction, it should not be supposed that mind is not Indriya. Akalanka Deva in Tattvārtharāja-vārttika has laid down “We call a female who is unable to conceive, ‘a woman without a belly'. This does not mean that really this female has no belly at all but the meaning is that she is unable to conceive. So when we call mind to be Anindriya it means that it does not produce impressions of objects like organs of sense eye etc. on contact. This does not however mean that mind is not a sense". 6
