Explanation in English from 膧c膩rya P奴jyap膩da鈥檚 Sarv膩rthasiddhi:
笔谤补尘腻峁嘺 has been said to be of two kinds, indirect (辫补谤辞办峁) and direct (辫谤补迟测补办峁). The first kind is described in this 蝉奴迟谤补.
These are the synonyms of sensory-knowledge (尘补迟颈箩帽腻苍补), mentioned first. These arise on the destruction-cum-subsidence (办峁测辞辫补艣补尘补) of karmas which obscure sensory knowledge. And there is no activity of these in scriptural knowledge (艣谤耻迟补箩帽腻苍补), etc. The derivatives are mati, 蝉尘峁泃颈, 蝉补尘箩帽腻, 肠颈苍迟腻, and abhinibodha. Cognizing is cognition. Remembering is remembrance. Recognizing is recognition. Inductive reasoning is induction. Deductive reasoning is deduction. Other expansions, as appropriate, must be understood.
Though the words are derived from different roots, by the force of convention, these are synonyms. For instance, though the words 鈥�indra鈥�, 鈥�艣补办谤补鈥�, and 鈥�purandara鈥� denote different activities, all these are the names of the same person, the deva-husband of 艢补肠颈. If different meanings are attached to these from the point of view of their etymological meanings, the same may be done with regard to the synonyms of sensory knowledge (尘补迟颈箩帽腻苍补). The meaning intended is that these synonyms do not transgress the range of cognition arising from the cause of destruction-cum-subsidence (办峁测辞辫补艣补尘补) of karmas obscuring sensory knowledge (尘补迟颈箩帽腻苍补).
The term 鈥�iti鈥� indicates varieties or species. These are the synonyms or names of sensory knowledge. What is the cause of that?
