194/Go. Sa. Jivakanda
Verse 142
**Samyama** is the act of restraining. When **Samyama** is defined in this way, it cannot be a **dravya**-based restraint without **bhavacarita**, because the word "**san**" negates it.
**Doubt:** Here, the word "**yama**" should be taken to mean **samitis**, because **Samyama** cannot be formed without **samitis**?
**Solution:** Such a doubt is not correct, because the word "**san**" used in **Samyama** encompasses all **samitis**.
**Darshan** is that by which one sees. This does not lead to the **atiprasanga** fallacy with the **chakshu** sense organ and **aloka**, because these are not the **dharma** of the **atma**. (Here, **chakshu** refers to the **dravya** **chakshu**.)
**Doubt:** If **Darshan** is that by which one sees, then what is the difference between **Darshan** and **jnana**?
**Solution:** There is no contradiction, because **antarmuka** **chitprakash** is **Darshan** and **bahirmuka** **chitprakash** is **jnana**.
**Doubt:** What is that **chaitanya**?
**Solution:** **Chaitanya** is the sensation of the **jiva**'s **trikala**-related infinite **paryaya** form, according to its own **kshaya** and **upashama**. Therefore, **jnana** is that which perceives the external object that is **samanya-visheshatmaka**, and **Darshan** is that which perceives the **atmaswarupa** that is **samanya-vidyoshatmaka**.
**Or:** **Palokanavritti** is **Darshan**. This means that the one who observes is **palokan** or **atma**. **Vartan** (activity) is **vritti**. The **vritti** of **palokan** (**atma**) is **palokanavritti**. **Bahuswasanswedan** is **Darshan**.
**Or:** **Prakashavritti** is **Darshan**. This means that **prakash** is **jnana**. The **vritti** of the **atma** for this is **prakashvritti**. That is **Darshan**.
**Or:** **Darshan** is the state prior to the conjunction of the object and the subject.
**Leshya** is that which **limpan**s. This does not lead to the **ativyapti** fallacy with **bhumilepika**, because it is expected that "the **atma** is **limpan**ed by **karmas**". In other words, **Leshya** is that which **limpan**s the **atma** with **karmas**.
**Or:** **Leshya** is the **pravritti** of the **man-vacan-kayarupa** yoga that is **anuranjit** by **kapaya**.
