________________ ON VYAPTI 131 is generated only by some select individuals and no others, that is, by the individuals that are capable of performing the action in question. Thus according to Dharmakirti, the necessities are apriori. They are present to the Intellect or mind prior to all experience. He holds that our mind is so made that from the very beginning it faces nature in the expectation that the latter will be uniform. The experience here plays only a psychological part, that is, it simply makes us conscious of a notion which the mind already possessed. In other words, experience is but an occasion for calling forth this notion into consciousness.31 This apriori view of Dharmakīrti is a natural deduction from the metaphysical doctrine of momentarism and its epistemological counterpart, viz. sensationism. - Notes 1. वस्तुतस्तादात्म्यात् तदुत्पत्तेश्च । Nyayabindu II. 22 2. अतत्स्वभावस्यातदुत्पत्तेश्च तत्राप्रतिबद्धस्वभावत्वात् । Nyayabindu II. 23 See also Dharmottara's comment on the same. 3. अस्येदं कार्यं कारणं सम्बन्धि एकार्थसमवायि विरोधिचेति लैङ्गिकम्। Vaisesikasutras, IX.. 18 4. शास्त्रे कार्यादिग्रहणं निदर्शनार्थं कृतम्, नावधारणार्थम्। Prasastapādabhāsya (with Vyomavati etc. Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series No. 61) p. 562 5. तस्माद् यो वा स वाऽस्तु सम्बन्धः केवलं यस्यासौ स्वाभाविको नियतः स एव गमको गम्यश्चेतर:-सम्बन्धीति युज्यते। Nyayavartikatatparyatika (Kashi Sanskrit Series.
