Viṣaya (विषय) refers to “sense objects”, according to the Sarvajñānottara 29.40.—Accordingly, while describing the no-mind state: “Having thrown off attachment to sense objects (viṣaya-āsaṅga), one should [thus] eliminate one’s mental activity. When one goes to the state of no mind, then that is the supreme bliss”.
