________________ 66 Hermann Kuhn - the inner purpose and meaning (antara) - the presently active qualities (bhava) - the quantities and proportions (alpa-bahutva) of all six elements and their manifestations. (8) pramana gives us access to the following information about objects and events: - Existence (sat) - pramana perceives whether living beings, objects, events, emotions etc. do exist or not. - Qualities, features and functions (sankhya) - pramana perceives the components of the elements and the organization of their manifestations. - Place of manifestation (kshetra) - pramana perceives the locale, where objects and events manifest. This also includes the perception of their size and range. - Immediate sense-experience (sparshana) - pramana perceives how our senses experience the elements and their manifestations. - Time and duration of manifestation (kala) - pramana perceives the time of manifestation of objects and events and also the duration of their manifestation. - Inner purpose and meaning (antara) - pramana perceives what significance objects and events have in our life and also what insights they are supposed to trigger within us. - Presently active qualities (bhava) - pramana perceives how events and objects behave in the present and what reactions they trigger in our consciousness.
