Definition[1]

The 'four falls'; four inverted views, which cause one to fall from the true path (viparyāsa-catuksa). They are: (1) the fall of permanence--taking the impermanent to be permanent; (2) Enjoyment--perceiving suffering as enjoyment; (3) Purity-- seeing the impure as pure; (4) Self--perceiving what is not a self to be a self. These can be found in the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa-sūtra 維摩經, as well as the Abhidharmakośa-bhāsya 倶舎論.

Definition[2]

viparyāsa-catuṣka, caturvidha-viparyāsa.
