Pūrvābhāta (पूर्वाभात) refers to a “previously manifested object”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 1.161.—Accordingly, “In order to demonstrate that inference only regards a previously manifested [object] (pūrvābhāta), first [Utpaladeva] states [the sentence beginning with] ‘For inference …’ [And] since [inference] is so, the meaning of verse [1.5.8] is justified. But is inference nothing but a mere concept? With [the word]avyabhicāra°, [Utpaladeva] answers ‘no’ [to this question]”.
