विपश्चित / विपश्चिता
Vipashchit / Vipashchitaa
Vipaścit / Vipaścitā · IAST
One who has seen the truth — a realized person or saint, an enlightened one.
Etymology · व्युत्पत्ति
विपश्चित् = हलन्त-लोप → विपश्चित
The form विपश्चित् is written with a final halant (the grammatical/citation spelling); as a borne name the final halant is dropped (विपश्चित), and the English form takes no trailing schwa.
Scripture references
Vivekacūḍāmaṇi · verse 224
विशोक आनन्दघनो विपश्चित् स्वयं कुतश्चिन्न बिभेति कश्चित्। नान्योऽस्ति पन्था भवबन्धमुक्तेर्विना स्वतत्त्वावगमं मुमुक्षोः॥
viśoka ānandaghano vipaścit svayaṁ kutaścinna bibheti kaścit | nānyo'sti panthā bhavabandhamukter vinā svatattvāvagamaṁ mumukṣoḥ ||
Śaṅkarācārya: 'The enlightened one (vipaścit) is free from sorrow, dense with bliss, and afraid of nothing in the world. For the seeker of liberation, there is no path to release from worldly bondage other than the direct realization of one's own essential nature.'
