    Chapter 5.2 – Vedyasaṃvedyapada and Avedyasaṃvedyapada [6 of 13]

     

    Avedyasaṃvedyapada [2 of 9]

    Definition of avedyasaṃvedyapada [1 of 8]

    According to Haribhadrasūri avedyasaṃvedyapada is a state where its beholder, instead of perceiving the nature of knowables like woman etc. as it is mentioned in the sacred texts, perceives the knowables in his own manner with the intellect which arises from his destruction–cum–subsidence of ajñānāvaraṇa karman.[1] Moreover, our author states that the acknowledgment of knowables possessed by an avedyasaṃvedyapada holder is exactly opposite to that of a vedyasaṃvedyapada holder.[2]
