abhimukhī (T. mngon du ’gyur ba/mngon du phyogs pa; C. xianqian [di] 現前[地]) is translated as “manifest,” “evident,” "realized," "actualized," etc.[1][2]
Within the pramana tradition, abhimukhī refers to "those things that are evident to sense perception."[2]
In the pramana tradition, all "objects of comprehension" (prameya) are classified as either manifest (abhimukhī) or hidden (paroksa) —viz., "those things whose existence must be inferred through reasoning."[2]
