THE NOTION OF GROWTH
135
(12) The remaining three types of knowledge are perceived
directly (without external help).
(13) - Recollection (of something known before, but pres
ently not in contact with our senses) (smrtih) - recognition (of an object known before, when the object itself or something similar or markedly dissimilar is presented to our senses) (sanina) - induction (reasoning on the basis of observation)
(chinta) - deduction (reasoning by inference) (abhinibodha) are considered sensory knowledge (mati) as well.
(14) Sense-perception (mati) is caused by the senses and the
mind.
(15) Sensory knowledge develops in four stages:
1 - apprehension (avagraha) 2 - forming a first idea of what has been perceived
(iha) 3 - evaluation of the perception (avaya) 4-consolidating and retaining the perception and its
evaluation in our memory (dharana).
(16) Sense-perception recognizes twelve fundamental quali
ties in the perceived objects and events:
1 - many (bahu) 2 - few (one unit) (eka) 3 - many kinds (bahuvidha)
