Arthin (अर्थिन्) refers to “someone who desires something”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.133.—Accordingly, “A manifestation necessarily requires a cause as regards both [its] arising and [its] not arising. And if there is no such [cause], then [this manifestation] is causeless. And since as a consequence there is no relation of cause and effect, [someone] who wants a pot (ghaṭa-arthin) should not get clay [and] should not go see a family of potters; [and someone] who wants smoke (dhūma-arthin) should not get himself a fire. Moreover, the relation between the knowing subject and the object of knowledge has as its root the relation of cause and effect. [...]”.
