TRANSLATION
The two gates named Khadyotaand Avirmukhi, which have been spoken
of, are the two eyes side by side in one place. The town named Vibhrajita
should be understood as form. In this way the two eyes are always engaged
in seeing different kinds of forms.
PURPORT
The two eyes are attracted by brilliant things like light. Sometimes we
find that little insects are attracted by the brightness of fire and thus enter
into it. Similarly, the two eyes of the living entity are attracted by bright
and beautiful forms. They are entangled in these forms, exactly as the
insect becomes attracted to fire.
