--In the Śaṅkhya philosophy aprīti ‘pain’ is the essential

characteristic of the elementary quality rajas q. v., the

middle quality between clearness (goodness) and darkness

(sinfulness); Sāṅkhya Sūtra: prītyaprītiviṣādādyairguṇānāma-

nyonyaṃ vaidharmyam; Gaurapāda on the S. Kār.: aprītyātmakaṃ rajaḥ;

but the term ‘pain’ is there, according to the commenta-

tors, a general term which comprises besides its own notion

that of hatred, violence, envy, abuse and wickedness, or various

kinds of grief in general: Sāṅkhya Chandrikā: aprītirduḥkha-

mupalakṣaṇaṃ pradveṣadrohamatsaranindānikṛtīnām; Vijnānāch.: rajo

'pi śokādinānābhedaṃ samāsataḥ duḥkhātmakam; in a similar

manner Manu, who names however duḥkha and aprīti as

two distinct qualities connected with rajas, the first, as it

were, as the quality inherent in it, the second as the effect

produced by it, while the term aprīti is used by the

Sāṅkhya writers in either acceptation; Manu: yattu duḥkhasa-

māyuktamaprītikaramātmanaḥ . tadrajaḥ &c. E. a neg. and prīti.
