20. Prṃsṃtṃhalabdha-jñāna are the types of cognitions (jñāna) an enlightened being has subsequent (prṃsṃtṃha) to attaining (labdha) Awakening, which, according to some theories, may be qualitatively different from the immediate seeing of things as they are as one would during the experience of Awakening. This theory uses this distinction to account for how Buddhas, etc., can still make necessary distinctions, engage in the conventional world, and experience the plethora of things that appear in the image part (nimitta-bhāga) without undermining the fact that, in some sense, Buddhas, etc., have transcended the cognitive obstructions (jñeyāvarana) that usually limit cognition to only seeing the world that way.
