ABSTRACT
The author of Vedānta-Paribhāṣa not only distinguishes between the Jīva (finite self) and Īśvara (God), but also between the Jīva-Sākṣin and the Īśvara-Sākṣin, and consequently he distinguishes between the perception of the Jīva-Sākṣin and the perception of the Īśvara-Sākṣin. This view is peculiar to the Śaṁkara-Vedānta.
