Concept: Ritual justice (proper distribution of yajña-bhāga) sustains harmony between gods and humans and becomes a basis for receiving grace (here, restoration of sight).
Application: Honor rightful shares—fairness in duties, offerings, and credit—then ask for clarity (literal or inner vision) with humility and sincerity.

FAQs
The speaker asks for “sphuṭa-darśana” (clear vision), appealing to the merit of properly offering the gods their share in a yajña.
In Vedic ritual language, the devas’ “bhāga” is the prescribed offering; fulfilling it represents correct ritual order (ṛta/dharma) and is invoked here as grounds for a boon.
It links rightful action (properly performed sacrifice and due offerings) with the hope for clarity—symbolically, clear vision can indicate both physical sight and discernment.
