Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Antaḥsthita (अन्तःस्थित) refers to “(that which) exists inside (consciousness)” according to the Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] And insofar as this [inference] produces the realization of this object—[which only] exists inside (antaḥsthita-tadartha) [consciousness at the time when we infer]—thanks to the residual trace of the [past] experience, [and insofar as it produces this realization] as is appropriate [for an object, i.e.] in the form “this” (idantā), it only manifests [this object] as being separated [from the subject, the latter being expressed as “I”]. [...]”.
