Subject: [INDOLOGY] Silent witness

 

Dear List,

I am seeking clarification of the term from yoga /vedanta  known as the
silent witness.

In several modern yoga textbooks I  have so far found only a poor 
transliteration as sakshi dreer.

Could someone please confirm whether it is actually sAkSin + indriya, or
something else.

I would also appreciate knowing in what texts it is mentioned.

Thanks

Patrick McCartney
