Savikalpika - ("conceiving ideas") A phrase refers
to complicated conceptual knowledge in which the mind puts together and
analyzes material from the senses or memory in some schools of Indian
philosophy—among Buddhists, the Nyayas, and the Prabhakara school of Mimamsa.
Because such information is based on mental activity, it is
prone to inaccuracy.
The opposing kind of knowledge, known as nirvikalpaka, or
nonconceptual awareness, is generated immediately by the senses without any
interpretation.
These schools believe that a consciousness is real if the
senses that produce it are free of flaws.
