Dear List,

I sent the following brief note to Patrick two days ago. I had intended it to go to the list in general. Perhaps it will be useful if I now add it to the general conversation:

Dear Patrick,

Besides sAkSin and related forms [e.g., kUTa-sAkSin, pratyakSin, etc.], you might want to look at other synonyms like udAsIna, etc., all more or less epithets of Atman.

Best wishes to all,

George

[p.s. I too would like to know more about Dipak's paper]

Dear Patrick,

For a perceptive philosophical investigation of the saak.sin in Advaita thought, you may be interested
to consult Bina Gupta, The Disinterested Witness: A Fragment of Advaita Vedanta Phenomenology
(Northwestern University Press, 1998).

Best,
Matthew
