FAQs
In this verse, Tvaṣṭā is described as the presiding guardian who enters the eyes of the Universal Form, enabling visual perception through the power of sight.
It explains that perception is not merely mechanical—when the divine presiding principle (here, Tvaṣṭā) empowers the sense organ, the apprehension of forms becomes possible.
It encourages mindful perception—seeing is a gifted capacity, so one can cultivate gratitude and use vision in dharmic, devotional ways rather than for distraction or harm.
