Elaboration-Instead of giving a direct answer or the definition of Pratyaksh-jnana the author gives names of its types. He uses this
le for a more explicit presentation of the subject throughout this 4 45 work. In the agams many different styles have been used according to 4
the demand of the subject such as-discussing the attributes, the sources, the areas, etc.
Indriya or a sense organ is the evident indicator of the soul. In other words it is through the activity of a sense organ that the
existence of the soul becomes evident. There are two parts of a sense ki organ--physical (dravyendriya) and mental (bhavendriya).
The physical sense organ also has two parts-structural (nivritti) 4 and operative (upkaran). The structural part has two limbs--one is " the visible physical structure within the body and the second is a 51 matching subtle structure within the soul (this is a dimension that is
beyond the normal physical and mental perception) made up of soul
sections (atma-pradesh). The joint active ability of these two limbs of Hi the structural part is called the operative part. In all beings the outer 4 structures of the sense organs are different but the inner structures 66 (within the soul) are similar.
The mental sense organ is also of two types-ability (labdhi) and ! 4i utility (upayoga). The capacity or power acquired as a consequence of
the changes manifested within the soul due to the kshayopasham of 911
the knowledge-veiling karmas is called ability or labdhi. The activity 5 of acquiring normal and special knowledge of the sound, form, 45 4 qualities, subjects etc. is called utility or upayog.
The knowledge that is acquired with the help of both these 4 physical and mental sense organs is called Indriya Pratyaksh. It 4
i cannot be acquired in absence of any one of these. LFS The prefix 'no' is used here as negation only. Therefore No-indriya 5 Pratyaksh means the knowledge which is acquired without the help 46 \1 of the sense organs. Generally, mind is also called a No-indriya. But
here it has not been used in that context. Here No-indriya Pratyaksh
means the knowledge that is directly acquired by the soul without 5 any outside help including that from sense organs, mind, light, or any 5 other medium or instrument.
