Darsana - Gafa -Perception, Conation, Knowledge without details, Simple perception as distinguished from detailed, Knowledge, faith, A school of Philosophy, vision, perceiving. gefa - Daršana is some kind of cognition that intervenes between vyañjanā vagraha and Arthāvagraha Vyaftjanā-vagraha means mere sense - object contact or sense - stimulation. Darsana that arises in its wake means an indeterminate cognition of an external object, indeterminate in the sense that here merely the bare existence of the object is cognised. That is, at this stageone becomes conscious merely of the fact that the source of these sensa- tions is something external. Arthāvagraha is a somewhat more developed consciousness that what we have in Darsana because in Arthāvagraha we cognise even sec- ondary general features. Gyti - The vague and indefinite appre- hension of things without grasping anything definite and without knowing the details of a thing is said to be conation (Daršana) in scripture. The indescribable apprehension by the soul of the
merepresenceofobjecthaving general and particular (qualities) is conation.
G.J. 245, Gāthā 482-483. amatayfa 77% 3raagyfa - Ocular conation and non-ocularconation - That by which the object) of sight is made visible or (that) which sees (such objects) - they call it ocular conation
(Chakshu Darsana). The becoming visible (of their particular object) to the other (4) senses (and quasi - sense, the mind) - this should be known to be the non-ocular conation.
G.J. 245, Gāthā 484. 3rafe gefa - Visual conation - From an atom, etc., up to the last (maximum) molecule (Mahā skandha, are the forms of)material substances - that which sees them directly is the visual conation (Avadhi Daršana).
G.J. 446, Gāthā 485. ham gyfn - Perfect conation - Luminaries of many ways (make visible) limited space, that luminary which removing all darkness makes visible the (whole) universe and the non-universe (is) perfect conation (kevala Darsana).
t - The perception of the generalities of things without particularities in which there is no grasping of details is called Darśana in (Jaina) scriptures.
Dr. 43. fat - Darsana is knowledge without details. For example, when a person sees a cloth, as long as he is only conscious of the existence of something called cloth, he is said to have Daršana. But when he begins to have knowledge of the details, viz., the size, colour etc. of that piece of cloth, he is said to have Jnana.
Dr. page 106. क्षमस्थ तथा केवली के ज्ञान और दर्शन की fastoni – In Saṁsāri Jivas, Jrāna is preceded by Darsana. For this reason (in him), the two upayogas (viz. Jrāna and Darśana) do not (arise) simultaneously.
Dr. 44.
