Shaiva philosophy

: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)

ū屹ٲ (पूर्वावभात) refers to �(that which was) manifested in the past�, according to the Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] So [a valid inference is] an act of realization that is exactly so, [i.e. it is an unfailing means of knowledge with respect to a previously perceived object that it manifests as having a specific place and time]. This is what [the Vṛtti] says [with the words] ‘manifested in the past� (ū屹ٲ), ‘an object invariably concomitant [with this entity]� [and] ‘[due to the association of this entity with] this or that [specific] place and time, etc.’�.
