Meaning
Vastu-dṛṣṭi: the commentary explains vastu as the highest reality, by which it is seen, and says that in the subtle intelligence it comes to the one taste of what truly is. The image concerns the eye as much as the moon. Cloud passing, the eye finds its object and rests. Prasīdati, it becomes clear, is also the word for being gladdened: understanding is here a kind of rest, and a joy.
