as finalised in the Nandi', which refers first to the old tradition and then amplifies the second stage in the following order :
Jñāna (First classification)
Ābhinibodhika
Sruta
Avadhi Manahparyaya
Kevala
Jñāna (Second classification)
Pratyaksa
Pratyaksa
Parokşa
Abhinibodhika
Sruta
Indriya (five types)
Noindriya (three types of
intuition)
Sruta Ni.
Aśruta Ni.
(Four types of Avagraha etc.)
(Four buddhis)
Vyañjanāvagraha
Arthāvagraha
We may observe the following points in the above :
(1) Nandi, following the tradition of Anuyoga and feeling the pressure of non-jaina systems, included sense-cognition into Pratyakşa; but could not go against the old tradition also and therefore, described Mati as pratyakșa as well as paroksa.
(2) It has tried to incorporate the nonjaina-conception in the old tradition, but does not try to explain the contradiction.
(3) The Nandi as well Anuyoga does not say anything about the purely mental cognitions such as introspection etc. According to the Nandi they can be included into Paroksamati, while according to Anuyoga they can be adjusted nowwhere. 1 Nandi Sūtra 4.
