Vada ] Gañadharavāda
: 211: vilèpana etc. that have once been experienced are perceived again in dream due to this reason.
2. Observation-When objects like elephants, horses eto., are perceived in dream, the dream is said to have been caused by the drştartha reason.
3. Attentive Consideration-A dream representing acquisition of a beloved etc., is called the dream of cintitārtha.
4. Hearing-When places like svarga, and naraka, which are only heard of, and not seen-are perceived in dream, the nimitta is śrtārtha.
5. Distrubance of Health—IU .health caused by diseases like vāta and pitta, is also one of the nimittas of dream.
6. A deity-When one beholds a deity-adverse or favourable-in dreann, the dream can be called dova-nimitta.
7. Watery place - This is ulso one of the nimittas when one dreams in the midst of watery region.
8.-9. Punya and pāpa-A dream is said to be good or bad according as there is punya or pāpa as its nimitta.
Thus, it is clear that a svapna is brought about by one of the above-mentioned nimittas. And hence, svapna is nothing but an object which can be brought into existence by means of one or more nimittas. In this way, when the drearn itself is existent, how can you call the world to be non-existent like svapna ? विण्णाणमयत्तणओ घडविण्णाणं व सुमिणओ भावो।
अहवा विहियनिमित्तो घडो व्व नेमित्तियत्ताओ॥१५६।। (१७०४) Viņņāŋamayattanao ghadaviņņāņam va sumisao bhāvol Abavā vihiyanimitto ghaço vvao nemittiyattāö. 156 (1704) [विज्ञानमयत्वतो घटविज्ञानमिव स्वमको भावः ।
अथवा विहितनिमित्तो घट इव नैमित्तिकत्वात् ॥१५६॥ (१७०४)
