In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Mati (मति) or Matijñāna refers to “sense-knowledge” and represents one of the five types of “right-knowledge” (samyagjñāna), as mentioned in chapter 1.3 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism. Accordingly, as mentioned in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:—“[...] mokṣa is attained by those who practice unceasingly the brilliant triad of knowledge, faith, and conduct. Among these, exact knowledge which comes from a summary or detailed study of the principles, jīva, etc., is called ‘right-knowledge’ (samyagjñāna). [...] Mati-jñāna is said to be divided into avagraha, etc., and these again into bahu, etc., and originates by means of the senses, and by means of the mind”.

There are 4 sub-divisions of mati, ‘sense-knowledge’:

1. avagraha is perception of something by the senses;
2. ihā (or ūhā) is the desire to know more about it;
3. avāya, finding out the fact in the case;
4. dharana, remembered knowledge leading to recognition.

Note: The ‘bahu, etc.’ refers to 12 sub-divisions of each of these 4 classes: much, manifold, quick, not indicated, untaught, firm, and the opposites of these.

Having got rid of the multitude of imaginings, when the steady mind holds onto [its] nature, then it is indeed the best [form of] stopping the influx of karma for a mendicant”.
