Sāmānyalakṣaṇa (सामान्यलक्षण) refers to “generally characterized phenomena”.—Accordingly, “The terms ‘object’ (viṣaya; yul), ‘knowable’ (jñeya; shes bya), and ‘appraisable’ (prameya; gzhal bya) are all essentially equivalent, [...] it is the defining characteristic of the ‘appraisable’ that it is to be understood through valid cognition”. When objects to be appraised (prameya; gzhal bya) are analyzed in terms of the processes of understanding, they are said to include both specifically characterized phenomena (svalakṣaṇa; rang mtshan) and generally characterized phenomena (sāmānyalakṣaṇa; spyi mtshan).”.
