sahaja, 'congenital': (1) a type of hetu in which the cause and effect
appear simultaneously. (2) D 2.253 (256). (3) avir bhavati nārīņām
vayaḥ paryastasaisavam । saháiva vividhaiḥ pumsām angajónmāda-
vibhramaiḥ (Daṇḍin: "Maidenhood appears in girls, their childhood
passed, and with it, in young men, the several passionate confusions
of love"). (4) "All in green went my love riding / on a great horse of
gold into the silver dawn. / four lean hounds crouched low and
smiling / my heart fell dead before" (e. e. cummings). (5) Sahaja
forms the middle term in the triad dūrakarya ... kāryānantaraja.
In all three, the cause and the effect are vyadhikarana, different as to
substratum. The cause operates figuratively or through mental
processes; hence Daṇḍin has included the three terms in jñāpaka
hetu. They do not necessarily imply deformations of the relation of
cause-effect, although other writers would say so (cf. notably the
figure asamgati).
