Four types of object (T. yul bzhi ཡུལ་བཞི་) are identified in the pramana tradition. These are four main types of objects (viṣaya) of consciousness (vijnana).[1]
The four types of object are:[1][2][3]
- appearing object (T. snang yul; Skt. pratibhāsa-viṣaya)
- apprehended object (T. gzung yul; Skt. grāhyaviṣaya)
- conceived object (T. zhen yul; Skt. adhyavasāya-viṣaya)
- object of engagement (T. 'jug yul; Skt. pravṛttiviṣaya)
