Source: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of SriharsaDvicandrajñāna (द्विचन्द्रज्ञान) refers to a phenomenon “being produced by pressing the eye with a finger”, according to the Vivaraṇaprameyasaṃgraha (V.S.S, p. 37). Cf. Dvicandradhī (the “illusion of seeing two moons due to an eye disease called Timira”), as mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 13.42.; 15.51. The expression is frequently used in philosophical literature as an illustration of illusion, e.g., in Śrībhāṣya 1.1.1; in Śāṃkarabhāṣya 2.1.27; in Paramārthasāra (verse 22). The Yogācāra Buddhist who regards knowledge as the sole reality says that to see a difference between knowledge and its object is to see two moons in one (quoted in Bhāmatī).
