________________ 32 TATTVA-KAUMUDI [XXVII XXVII The first phrase 3491H*, gives the general characteristic of the mind and the second phrase q*i : gives the proper function of the mind. गौड० interprets संकल्पकं as प्रवृत्ति peggia, i. e., which determines the functioning of the two sets of spaces ). ara understands tega as @aqoratoarea progna 1. e. perceives the definite properties as belonging to the thing apprehended. जय° and चन्द्रिका agree with वाच०.

For, according to the author of the tamaa whose verses are quoted here, we have the knowledge of सामान्य and विशेष both in the निर्विकल्पक stage; but this knowledge is not combined into a definite concept, as in the fame94. stage.
