[ The fourth
vilepana etc. that have once been experienced are perceived again in dream due to this reason.
2. Observation-When objects like elephants, horses etc. are perceived in dream, the dream is said to have been caused by the drstārtha 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 narakawhich are only heard of, and not seen-are perceived in dream, the nimitta is sy tārtha.
5. Disturbance of Health Ill health caused by diseases like våta and pitta is also one of the nimittas of dream.
6. A deity--When one beholds a deity-adverse or favourable-in dream, the dream can be called deva-nimitta.
7. Watery place-This is also 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 papa, as its nimitta.
Thus, it is clear that & 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 a nimitta or nimittas. In this way, when the dream itself is existent, how can you call the world to be non-existent like svapna ? विण्णाणमयत्तणओ घडविण्णाणं व सुमिणओ भावो । अहवा विहियनिमित्तो घडो व नेमित्तियत्ताओ॥१५६॥(१७०४) Vinnānamayattanao ghadavinnānam va suminao bhāvo i Ahavā vihiyanimitto ghado vya nemittiyattāo il 156 11 ( 1704) [विज्ञानमयत्वतो घटविज्ञानमिव स्वमको भावः ।
