147. Question: How many types of Matigyan are there? What is their nature?
Answer: There are four types of Matigyan. 1. Avgraha: When there is a relationship between the object and the senses in the form of a state in the appropriate field, there is a general observation-like perception, and after this, there is Avgraha knowledge that takes in the specific shape, etc. For example, 'This is a human being.' There are two types of Avgraha: (a) Vyanjanavgraha: The meaning associated with the senses and the unmanifest meaning is called Vyanjan, i.e., even when associated with the senses, it is called Vyanjan until it is manifested, and the knowledge of this is called Vyanjanavgraha. This knowledge occurs through the remaining four senses, excluding the eye and mind. For example, the initial unmanifest perception of words, etc., through the ear, etc., is called Vyanjanavgraha. (b) Arthavgraha: The knowledge that occurs regarding the unacquired, unassociated meaning is called Arthavgraha, which occurs after Vyanjanavgraha - for example, perceiving words, etc., through the ear, etc., in a manifest form. This knowledge occurs through all five senses and the mind.
