The Dabistán, or School of manners, Volume 2 (of 3)

Note 169 — Chapter II · (continued 2)

David Shea translation

The edit. of Calc. reads ابہویشہ abhvèsha. I am induced to substitute for it avivèchana अविवे चना and must remark that the original text appears here, in its denominations and definitions, rather more incorrect than in other places. According to the well known doctrine of the Sánk’hyá, the obstructions of the intellect here meant to be indicated are “error, conceit, passion, hatred, and fear;” which are severally denominated obscurity, illusion, extreme illusion, gloom, and utter darkness (Transact. R. A. S., vol. I. p. 33).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
