Sutra 8
<blockquote>
विपर्ययो मिथ्याज्ञानमतद्रूपप्रतिष्ठम् ॥८॥
viparyayo mithyājñānamatadrūpapratiṣṭham ॥8॥
</blockquote>
''viparyayah'':misconception; ''mithyā'':false, illusory; ''jñānam'':knowledge; ''atat'':not its own; ''rūpa'':form; ''pratiṣṭham'':based
:'''Wrong conception is false knowledge which is not based on its own form.'''
:::::OR
:'''Misconception is illusory knowledge based on mistaking a particular form for something completely different.'''
'''Viparyaya - misconception''' is false knowledge which we need to overcome. For example, when we mistake a rope for a snake, the knowledge is incorrect, because it's a rope mistaken for a snake. This can be avoided with adequate light.
Hence it is important that we don't mistake things for something else.
Viparyaya is also known as ''avidya'', because it is based on a misunderstanding of the real nature of purusha and prakriti. It can be replaced by ''viveka'' which brings correct understanding of the true nature of purusha and prakriti.
