Sutras
THE NOTION OF GROWTH
137
(22) Upon the dissolution of the respective karmas human
beings and animals manifest six types of clairvoyance (avadhi).
(23) Direct perception of contents present in the mind of
others (manah-paryaya) occurs in two intensities, as: - simple direct knowledge (rijumati) and as - complex direct knowledge (vipulamati).
(24) These two intensities of direct mental perception
(manah-paryaya) differ in their degree of clarity and in the possibility of losing this state again.
(25) Direct mental perception (manah-paryaya) differs from
clairvoyance (avadhi) by - its clarity - the spatial boundaries in which it functions - the degree of realization of the perceiver and - the type of the perceived objects.
(26) Sense-perception and external knowledge perceive all
six elements (living beings, matter, time etc.), but not all their manifested aspects.
(27) Clairvoyance (avadhi) perceives all that has form, but
not all its variations.
(28) Direct mental perception (manah-paryaya) perceives
infinitely subtler forms than clairvoyance (avadhi).
