mind is of the expressed object only. The rest of the four senses, e.g., hearing, smell, touch, and taste can perceive expressed (Vyakt) as well as non-expressed (Avyakt) objects.

How many different types of expressed (Vyakt) and non-expressed (Avyakt) objects are there?
There are twelve types:
1. Multiple (Bahu) - To know multiple examples of an object at a time,
e.g., as to know people in a gathering. 2. Few (Ek) - To know one or a few things at a time, e.g., to know a
person. 3. Complex (Bahuvidh) - To know many different objects at a time, e.g.,
to know men or dogs in a crowd 4. Simple (Ekvidh) - To know only one type of an object only, e.g., to
have knowledge of a specific person in a crowd. 5. Quick comprehension (Kshipra) - To know an object quickly. 6. Slow comprehension (Akshipra) – To come to know an object slowly
over time. 7. Partially exposed (Anihshrut) - To know an object fully although it is
only partially expressed, e.g., by seeing a trunk in the water, to know
that an elephant is there. 8. Completely exposed (Nihshrut) - To know the object once it is fully
expressed / visible. 9. Unspoken (Anukta) - To know an object without being aware of its
description. 10. Spoken (Ukta) - To know an object after knowing its description. 11. Constant (Dhruv) - Long lasting stable knowledge of an object. 12. Nonconstant (Adhruv) - The knowledge of an object, which can
increase or decrease with time.

What is the scripture knowledge / articulate knowledge (Shrut gnan)?
An object is first known through perception knowledge. The knowledge of this object which enables one to know another object is called scripture knowledge / articulate knowledge, e.g., to know a word such as 'pot' and then to know different types of pots, such as water pots or flower pots, is called scripture knowledge / articulate knowledge.
