Saṃdṛśya (संदृश्य) refers to “seeing” [?], according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] At that time, sixty koṭis of Bodhisattvas, having stood up from the congregation, joined their palms, paid homage to the Lord, and then uttered these verses in one voice: ‘[...] (221) Even though we are very far away, we will go to quench the desire for the dharma. Having obtained pleasure and joy of the dharma, we will work for the benefit of living beings (dehin). (222) Despite seeing (saṃdṛśya—saṃmukhaṃ tatra saṃdṛśya) numerous errors of living beings directly, we will investigate ourselves, abiding in the gentleness of the dharma. [...]’”.
