Manodoṣa (मनोदोष) refers to “erroneous cognition caused by a problem in the internal organ”, as discussed in the Khyāti Section of the 9th century Nyāyamañjarī (composed in Kashmir by Bhaṭṭa Jayanta) which represents an ontological, epistemological and linguistic study of classical Indian philosophy.—Classical examples of erroneous cognition discussed in the khyāti theory are enumerated and classified into three types by Jayanta (§ 2.2.1.2.3) [e.g., Caused by a problem in the internal organ (manodoṣa)]. Jayanta, who follows the framework of the theory of error created by Maṇḍana, discusses error in two separate parts in his Nyāyamañjarī.
