Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)

Sākārajñānavādin (साकारज्ञानवादिन्) refers to the “proponents of the theory that cognition has aspects”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.131-132.—Accordingly, “[...] For this very reason, in our system the [Buddhist] externalist’s claim that a concept involves no real manifestation cannot be accepted at all: since the proponent of the theory that cognition has aspects (sākārajñānavādin) says that a concept is [immediately] manifest in itself [insofar as every cognition is immediately aware of itself,] even though with respect to the object, [this concept] is a [mere] determination, how could it have a nonexistent manifestation? So enough with this”.
