Humble pranams to all Advaitins,

Shri  Krishna Menon (Atmananda), quotes the following verse in his book 'Atma Nirvritti'-

यदिदं दृश्यते किञ्चित् - दर्शनात् तन्न भिद्यते।
दर्शनं द्रष्टृतो नान्यद्- द्रष्टैव हि ततो जगत्॥

'What is perceived is not different from perception and perception is not different from the Perceiver and that therefore the world is the Perceiver himself.'

Shri Atmananda mentions that the verse is seen in a book called Paramarthasaram.

There are two books entitled Paramarthasara- one by Adishesha and another by Abhinavagupta. However I could not locate this verse in either of the books. Moreover, both these books are written in Arya metre whereas the abovementioned verse is in Anushtubh metre.

Can anyone help me by identifying the source of this verse?

Yours

Ravindra Shivde
