Aurva Episode: Restoration of Sight and Restraint of World-Destructive Anger
यच्चक्षुषा द्रष्टमिच्छेत् त्रिषु लोकेषु किंचन । तत् पश्येद् यादृशं चेच्छेत् तादृशं द्रष्टमर्हति,तीनों लोकोंमें जो कोई भी वस्तु है, उसमेंसे जिस वस्तुको आँखसे देखनेकी इच्छा हो, उसे इस विद्याके प्रभावसे कोई भी देख सकता है और जिस रूपमें देखना चाहे, उसी रूपमें देख सकता है
yac cakṣuṣā draṣṭum icchet triṣu lokeṣu kiñcana | tat paśyed yādṛśaṃ cecchet tādṛśaṃ draṣṭum arhati ||
สิ่งใดก็ตามในสามโลก หากผู้ใดปรารถนาจะเห็นด้วยตา—ด้วยอานุภาพแห่งวิชานี้ เขาย่อมเห็นได้จริง และปรารถนาจะเห็นในรูปใด ก็ย่อมเห็นได้ในรูปนั้นเอง

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a siddhi-like capacity: through a specific vidyā (knowledge/technique), one can perceive any object across the three worlds and even perceive it in a chosen form. Implicitly, it highlights the potency of knowledge and the ethical need to govern desire, since the power follows the will of the seeker.
A Gandharva is describing the effect of a particular vidyā being discussed in the episode: it grants extraordinary vision, enabling the recipient to see anything anywhere in the three worlds, and to see it in whatever appearance he wishes.
