antaḥkaraṇa

antaḥkaraṇa n. (-ṇaṃ) The internal and spiritual part of man, the seat of thought and feeling, the mind, the heart, the conscience, the soul.

E. antar within, and karaṇa an organ.

antaḥ-karaṇa (ṇaṃ) 1. n. The under-
standing or heart.

antaḥkaraṇa Tatpur. n. (-ṇam) (In Philosophy.) ¹ The interior

sense (also called ābhyantarakaraṇa) opposed to the vāhyakaraṇa

(q. v.) or exterior sense; this notion which in general may

be termed ‘the faculty of thinking’ is thus modified in the

Vedānta and in the Sāṅkhya: ^a (In the Vedānta it implies)

the notion of what is the general substratum of ātman or

Soul (Śaṅkara: taccātmana upādhibhūtamantaḥkaraṇam); its activity

becomes manifest in two of the seventeen sūkṣmaśarīra (q. v.)

or subtle bodies of creation, viz. in the buddhi (q. v.) or that

mental activity which forms positive conclusions, and in

the manas, or that mental activity which ‘discerns and doubts’;

and as citta or ‘logical combination’ is involved by the

activity of buddhi, and ahaṅkāra or ‘self-consciousness’ is in-

volved by manas, the activity of the antaḥkaraṇa is fourfold,

viz. as that of buddhi, manas, citta and ahaṅkāra. Śaṅkara in

his commentary on the Vedānta Sūtras varies slightly in this

respect by substituting vijñāna for ahaṅkāra; the difference

however is merely apparent, vijñāna, worldly knowledge,

being also one of the attributes of manas (Śaṅkara: ‘antaḥ-

karaṇaṃ mano buddhirvijñānaṃ cittamiti cānekadhā tatra tatrābhi-

lapyate’). ^b. (In the Sāṅkhya it is not the substratum of puruṣa

or Soul but) the generic name and characteristic of three

successive productions of prakṛti or Matter, viz. of buddhi ‘as-

certainment or positive conclusion’, of its product ahaṅkāra

self-consciousness’ and of the product of Ahaṅkāra, viz.

manas which in this philosophy means ‘an organ both of sen-

sation and of action’ (see buddhīndriya and karmendriya), ‘the

organ of volition’ (see saṅkalpa). ‘The ten external organs

(viz the five organs of sensation and the five of action)

supply the objects for the ‘interior sense’, their time is the

present time, while the interior sense embraces the past,

present and future time’. ² (In the non-philosophical lite-

rature where philosophical terms are usually employed in

a vague manner, this word means) Mind, heart, feeling,

a synonyme of manas in its vague, unphilosophical sense;

e. g. (in a verse of the Mālatīmādhava where an apparent

show is made of philosophical accuracy) premārdrāḥ praṇayaspṛ-

śaḥ…ceṣṭā bhaveyurmayi . yāsvantaḥkaraṇasya vāhyakaraṇavyāpā-

rarodhīkṣaṇādāśaṃsāparikalpitāsvapi bhavatyānandasāndrodayaḥ
