Saṃdṛśyati (संदृश्यति).—sees: Gaṇḍavyūha 523.20—21 yathā māyākāro… sarvarūpagatāni sarvakriyāś ca saṃdṛśyati (by his magic power). Seems to be a nonce-formation analogical to saṃdṛśyante, regular passive, they are seen, which occurs three times in the text just before (lines 16, 18, 20); the meaning is confirmed by the following conclusion of the simile: evam eva sudhanaḥ…tāni sarvavyūhavikurvi- tāny adrākṣīt. To the pass. saṃdṛśyate, is seen, was formed an active saṃdṛśyati, sees. The same seems true once of dṛśyati, q.v.
