SUTRAS
2 - 'Few' or 'one piece' or 'one unit' (eka) - (the opposite of 'many').
This also means 'countable'. 3 - 'Many kinds' (bahuvidha) - a large number of different kinds; e.g.
the many types of goods offered in a market. 4 - 'Few kinds' or 'one kind' (ekavidha) - e.g. a flock of sheep. This
also means 'countable'. 5 - 'Fast' (ksipra) - the perception of a fast sequence of events. 6 - 'Slow' (aksipra) - the perception of a slow sequence of events. 7 - 'Partially' (anihsrita) - we perceive only one part of an object or
event, the rest remains hidden; e.g. the fate of a person who
briefly enters our life and then leaves again. 8 - 'Completely' (nihsrita) - we perceive an object in its entirety; e.g.
a glass sitting on the table. 9 - 'Perceived indirectly' (anukta) - we recognize a (new) object or
event that has never been described to us before and is not marked in such a way that we could identify it directly. The characteristics of the object can be perceived only indirectly by inference.
EXAMPLE: A man stands at a bus-stop. Though he does not
signal, the bus-driver assumes that he intends to board the bus. 10 - 'Perceived directly' (ukta) - We perceive a (new) object or event.
Since the object has been described to us before or is clearly marked, we identify it immediately.
EXAMPLE: We see a building that has been described in a guidebook we have read. 11 - 'Steady' or 'permanent' (dhruva) - the steady and complete recognition of an object as it really is.
EXAMPLE: All perception arising in a consciousness not subjected to error is complete and steady from the very beginning. It does not change at any later time.
