Thirukkudanthai Aaraavamudhan
The 75th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
****************************************
Jagath SaakshiNE nama:

One who is the witness of all that happens in the world.

ThonDaradippodi AzhwAr has a moving verse in which He refers to the Lord being the witness from inside of all the activities of  the Jeevan ( 34th Paasuram of ThiriumAlai) : Oh Lord! I do not have the intelligence to think about You, who resides inside me always and  therfore decietfully acted like I am Your dear servant and adorned  forms of Your daasan . Then I realized that You comprehend all my  thoughts  as AntharyAmi Brahmam and felt shameful ; I left Your presence  and  laughed heartily about my deciet until my ribs hurt me.

Saakshi occurs twice in SrI VishNu Sahasra Naamam(15th and 517th Naamam). He witnesses every thing directly through His SaakshAthkAram ( " Svayam aananadhayan thruptayan Saakshee SaakshAthkarOthi Sa:"). He looks at Muktha jeevans directly in His Supreme abode with Joy  . He is the observer . He looks at the Jeevans closely so that He can come to their rescue and protect them. Hence , He is called Saakshee.
