We may thus conclude that, according to the T.S. Bh., the cognitive process, namely the perceptual judgement (apāya) as well as the sensuous cognition (mati-jñāna), does not exist without its result in the form of a resultant judgement and, as such, the judgement is an inseparable and essential part of the cognitive process.
Besides, the author of the Bhasya can be reckoned a supporter of an opinion considering, on the one hand, the perceptual judgement as a negative process excluding non-existent particulars and, on the other hand, the retention (dhāraṇā) as a positive process determining the existent characteristics as well as the retaining of the resultant cognition enabling recollection, which distinguishes him from the Agamic tradition.
