subsequently attained cognition

The knowledge attained as a result of enlightenment that the bodhisattvas use for the task of liberating other sentient beings (Skt. pṛṣṭha-labdha-jñāna, pṛṣṭha-labdha). As contrasted with innate cognition 根本智. Buddhas and bodhisattvas are able to utilize their discriminating capacities after attaining enlightenment, but without reifying and appropriating notions regarding their own selfhood or the intrinsic reality of objects. The existence of this clear function means that they understand and take advantage of conventional "realities" and are thus not "disconnected" from the world; also rendered as 分別智.〔成唯識論 T 1585.31.36c17; 二障義 HBJ 1.802c; 起信論疏 T 1844.44.204a21〕 [resp. cmuller; source(s): Nakamura, JEBD, Hirakawa, Iwanami]
In the Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith, it is glossed as "spontaneous karmic wisdom" 自然業智, and is specifically defined as the cognitive function that is obscured by the cognitive obstructions 智礙. Also written 後得世間智 and more briefly as 後智. Also see 業智. [resp. cmuller]
