Shaiva philosophy

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

Saṃvedanarūpa (संवेदनरूप) refers to “that which is consciousness” (as opposed to Asaṃvedanarūpa—‘that which is not consciousness’), according to the Vṛtti on the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.165.—Accordingly, “In ‘To this [objection we] reply …,’ [Utpaladeva] answers [the objection] with [the following] in mind. The externality of the pot is not thus one [and the same whether it is considered] with respect to the village or with respect to consciousness; for that which is external to consciousness consists in that which is not consciousness (asaṃvedanarūpa), whereas that which is external to the house does not consist in that which is not a house! For if that were the case, a particular element of the house—such as a wall—or a pot, for example, although it is located inside the house, should be external to the house [since they are not the house itself]; and it is not so.
