Gocaram is synonymous to the word “Pratyaksham”. Perception is the apprehension born of the
contact of the organ with an object.
The organs are eye, ear, tongue,
nose and skin. The objects are those

Thei connection is known as contact.
That which is produced as a result of this contact is perception.
