    a-paśyanā (neg. n. act. to paśyati, cf. paśyana,

    anupaśyanā), the not-seeing: SP 137.12 °nayā, by not-

    seeing; Kern as if he were not seeing, not quite rightly;

    Burnouf is farther from the truth. ‘Sight’ is false, illusory;

    one must not-see to truly see. Confirmed by verse version

    SP 143.2; and cf. Laṅk 9.8 ye paśyanti yathādṛṣṭaṃ na

    te paśyanti nāyakam.
