There would be "pg_rewrite" in between.
A possibly sloppy way you could get to the view is:
select c.*
from pg_class c, pg_rewrite rw, pg_depend d,
pg_proc p
where c.oid = rw.ev_class and
rw.oid = d.objid and
d.refobjid = p.oid and
p.proname = 'f_sanjeev';
here,
d.objid => oid of the rewrite rule
d.refobjid => oid of the function
So, the referencing object for 'f_sanjeev' is really a "rewrite rule"
(and not the view directly).
"pg_rewrite.ev_class" is the oid of the table that a given rewrite
rule is for which in this case is the view 'v_sanjeev'.
