[Advaita-l] Fwd: {भारतीयविद्वत्परिषत्} Re: Meta-cognition

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste,
To clarify, prAbhAkarA-s also hold cognition is self revealing. Perhaps
Anand ji meant bhATTa mImAmsa.
In advaita, cognition (vRtti) being insentient, does not reveal itself, the
cognition of cognition is by the sAkshi.

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
