Jāpakānāṃ Gatiḥ — The Destinies of Japa-Practitioners (Śānti Parva 12.190)
इन्द्रियैर्गह्यते यद् यत् तत्तद् व्यक्तमिति स्थिति: । अव्यक्तमिति विज्ञेयं लिड़ग्राह्म॒मतीन्द्रियम्
indriyair gṛhyate yad yat tat tad vyaktam iti sthitiḥ | avyaktam iti vijñeyaṁ liṅgagrāhyam atīndriyam ||
バラドヴァージャは言った。「諸感官によって把握されるものは、定義上『顕現（manifest）』と呼ばれる。だが感官を超え、徴（しるし）からの推理によってのみ知られるものは、『未顕現（unmanifest）』と理解すべきである。」
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
It defines two domains of knowledge: the manifest (vyakta), directly known through sensory perception, and the unmanifest (avyakta), which is beyond sensory reach and therefore known only indirectly through inference from indicators (liṅga).
In the didactic discourse of Śānti Parva, Bharadvāja is explaining a philosophical distinction used in ethical and spiritual inquiry: how one should classify and know reality—by direct perception for the manifest and by inferential reasoning for what transcends the senses.
