[Advaita-l] asti bhAti priyaM in Drg-drsya viveka

[balagopal ramakrishnan]

Namaste Durga Prasad Ji,
>>>We know that chaitanyaM (चैतन्यं ) is not  indriya grAhya (इन्द्रिय ग्राह्य).

Then how does bhAti (in the verse) is explained?
'Chaitanyam' being the 'eye' of the 'eye' can never be 'seen'. It's the subject and never the object. 
Now the 'bhaati' in the verse is explained as:
The verse you have referred is explaining the resolution of the confusions created by the external aavarana sakthi. The verse just explains the  5 factors that's involved in the perception of the world. The first 'asti' is the basic, the adhishtanam, the existence. The moment we speak of existence, then automatically the 'consciousness' is present. That is the 'bhaathi'. Without being 'conscious' of a thing we cannot speak of its existence.
The above 2 forms the 'sat and chit'. The 3rd, 'priyam', brings the 'aanandam'. That much is 'brahman' and the rest 2, the naama and rupa, are of mAya, the aavaraNam.
Hope it's useful.
Regards
Balagopal

Indriya grAhya (इन्द्रिय ग्राह्य). means perception through Indriya . What
is the mechanism of perception ? As per Vedanta Paribhasha , perception
takes place when the Chidabhasa ( in the antahkarana vritti) and the
Chaitanyam enclosed by the Object ( विषय अवछ्छिन्न चैतन्य ) occupy the same
space at the same time . This विषयअवछ्छिन्न चैतन्य is what is identified by
the word भाति in the verse quoted.
