Adhyavasāya (Sanskrit: अध्यवसाय ) generally means – 'apprehension', 'clinging to', 'mental effort' and also 'perseverance', 'having decided'. ==Vedic interpretation== Nārāyana Tīrtha, in his ''Sāmkhya-Candrikā'', explains ''adhyavasāya'' as " a modified condition of the intellect (''buddhi'') the determination in such a form as – ''such an act is to be done by me'' ". Gaudapāda explains it as " intellectual determination of the object of perception as belonging to a definite class ". Vācaspatimiśra explains it as " ascertainment or determinate knowledge consequent upon the manifestation of the essence (''sattva'') of the intellect, when the inertia of the intellect is overcome by the operation of the sense-organs in apprehending their objects, as the intention which follows self-appropriated knowledge or volition of the agent to react to the object of perception in a definite way ". Ascertainment also means definite awareness which according to the Samkhya school is associated in ''buddhi'' (अध्यवसायो बुद्धिः), in perception which is definite ascertainment involving the senses with respect to specific kinds of empirical objects, and which is an activity of ''buddhi''. It implies determination of objects (''avidhāranā'') which by itself is decisive knowledge (''niścaya''). The sage of the Maitri Upanishad (VI.30) explains:- : स हि सर्वकाममयः पुरुषोऽध्यवसायसङ्कल्पाभिमानलिङ्गो बद्धः | अतस्तद्विपरीतो मुक्तः || : " The purusha full of kama or desire is bound having adhyavasaya, sankalpa and abhimana as his lingas (characteristics) ; he who is the opposite of this is liberated. " Vindhyāvasin holds the view that ''sankalpa'', ''abhimāna'' and ''adhyavasāya'' are not different functions but the modifications of the mind or intellect. Samkhyas hold the view that perception is the reflective discerning (''adhyavasāya''), a kind of awareness, an operation of the intellect in its ''sattva'' modality; to be aware of perception as perception is to define and distinguish it from others which definition (''adhyavasāya'') can come only through conception (''vikalpa''). Sadyojyoti defines discernment as the ascertaining cognitive activity (''adhyavasāya'') which is understanding (''jñāna''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adhyavasaya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
