- Option : B
- Explanation : Advaita of Hindu philosophy identifies two
types of Direct Perception: determinate or
savikalpaka and indeterminate or nirvikalpaka.
Determinate perception is that where the
knowledge of an object gained from the
statement has determinism associated with
it as it is characterized by the predicate or
directly relatable in terms of the substantive
and its attributes.
Indeterminate perception is one where the knowledge gained from the statement is not directly relatable to the subject, i.e. the determinism '1 know this' is not discretely present For example: 'This is that Shiva'has two components 'this is Shiva' and 'that was Shiva' where 'this' stands for what is present before us while 'that' refers to the past that has to be recalled from memory.
