In Hinduism

Samkhya (school of philosophy)

: Shodhganga: Prakrti and purusa in Samkhyakarika an analytical review

Viveki (विवेकि, “discriminativeâ€�).—Again, being free from pleasure (sukha), pain (»å³Üḥk³ó²¹) and bewilderment (moha) ±è³Ü°ù³Üá¹£a is different from the three ²µ³Üṇa²õ. Therefore, ±è³Ü°ù³Üá¹£a is ³¾Äå»å³ó²â²¹²õ³Ù³ó²¹ or neutral devoid of the three ²µ³Üṇa²õ (²¹³Ù°ù¾±²µ³Üṇa). It can not be identical with the ±è°ù²¹»å³óÄå²Ô²¹. That which is different from the three ²µ³Üṇa²õ, and thus is not identical with the ±è°ù²¹»å³óÄå²Ô²¹, is viveki, i.e. discriminative of the ²µ³Üṇa²õ. Being viveki and madhyastha-±è³Ü°ù³Üá¹£a is unable to be combined with others and therefore can not go under any transformation (aprasavadharmi). Puruá¹£a is ²¹²õ²¹³¾²ú³óÅ«²â²¹°ìÄå°ù¾±, i.e. ±è³Ü°ù³Üá¹£a is unable to perform any act with or without the help of any thing else. As such, ²¹°ì²¹°ù³Ùá¹›t³Ù±¹²¹ (non-doership) is the nature of ±è³Ü°ù³Üá¹£a. So, the characteristic viveki can be attributed to the ±è³Ü°ù³Üá¹£a.
