ORIGINAL
प्रमाणविपर्ययविकल्पनिद्रास्मृतयः (pramāṇa-viparyaya-vikalpa-nidrā-smṛtayaḥ)
📜 THE VERSE
The five are: right knowing, error, imagination, sleep, and memory.
💡 TL;DR
Patañjali sorts the mind's waves into five.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Have I ever asked whether what I call 'fact' is right knowing, or just an old error?
📝Reflection
Patañjali sorts the mind's waves into five. Pramāṇa is grounded right knowing; viparyaya is error, knowing that contradicts the facts; vikalpa is imagination, words with no substance behind them; nidrā is sleep; smṛti is memory. The startling insight is this — most of what we call "thinking" is in fact error, fantasy, or the replay of old memory. To govern the mind, we must first notice which of these five a given thought really is.
