Satyadarśana (सत्यदर्शन) refers to “seeing the truths”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 4).—Accordingly, “[...] Among men, moral discipline (śīlasaṃvara), the path of seeing the truths (satyadarśana-mārga), the path of meditation (bhāvanāmārga), and the fruits of the path (mārgaphala) are found. In the other destinies, these benefits cannot be found according to some or very rare according to others. On the other hand, they are easy to obtain and very frequent among gods and men. This is why the Buddha is the teacher of gods and men”.
