Grammar: neuter noun; a compound of sama (same, equal) and darśana (seeing): “seeing the same”.

In the scriptures:
Beyond praise and blame. Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Uddhava that the jñānī of samadarśana neither praises the one who does good nor blames the one who does evil; beyond merit and fault, he stays silent (Bhāgavata Purāṇa, Skandha 11, Chapter 11).
In the Viśvarūpa. When Bhagavān Vāmana grew into the Viśvarūpa at Bali‘s yajña, truthful speech and samadarśana were seen in his two breasts (Bhāgavata Purāṇa, Skandha 8, Chapter 20).
