Drig-Drishya-Viveka, as the name indicates, is a Vedantic treatise of 46 verses inquiring into the nature of the ‘Seer’ (Drig) and the ‘See’ (Drishya), an inquiry which is of utmost importance for understanding the conclusions of the Vedanta philosophy. This brief treatise compresses much information into its body of few verses. The book contains the original text in Devanagari, its word-by-word meaning in English, a running translation, and exhaustive notes by Swami Nikhilananda.

Three names are generally associated with the authorship of Drig-Drishya-Viveka, a prakarana treatise of the Vedanta philosophy, one of them being Sri Sankaracharya. The author of this translation is led to believe that the author of the treatise is Bharati Tirtha, head of the Sringeri Math from 1328 AD to 1380 AD.
