Nature of Perception according to Gautama

Debabrata Panda, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D.

1. Introduction

Buddhi is an ambiguous term and it is used in various senses in Sanskrit philosophical literature.

The Naiyaayikaas are quite consistent and definite in their use of the term buddhi, and they always take it to be synonymous with upalabdhi and jñaana.

According to Annambhatta buddhi's definition is as follows, "sarvavyavahaarahetuh buddhih". It means that a cognition which is the cause of all verbal expression is called as buddhi. Nirvikalpaka jñaana is called avyapadeshya and it does not admit to being embodied in words; so it cannot be regarded as the cause of intercommunication through expression. So the definition "sarvavyavaharahetuh" is vitiated by the defect of avyaapti [partial inapplicability].
