SUMMARY: Patrapataka Sri Rudra, Indra, Sun (Surya), DharaNi, Parjanya and other deities worship Sri Hari, the Overlord of all Lokas, by staying in the eyes and getting called as Vasishtha, Vishwamitra, Bharadwaja, Gautama, Atri and Jamadagni Rishis.

The fact that Vasishtha and other sages are present in the eyes has been mentioned in Bruhadaranyakopanishat. However, Sri Madhwacharyaru, in his Bhashya (commentary) on Bruhadaranyakopanishat, has explained that those existing in the eyes are not the sages but Rudra and other deities in the names that are similar to the names of those sages. These details have been given in this stanza. It is mentioned in Brahadbhashya that awareness of this fact paves way for all luxuries and comforts in life.

It is said that the name of Kashyapa, which appears in Upanishat, should also be added to the list of sages cited in this context.

The details of deities whose names are similar to Vasishtha and others sages and the seven parts of the eyes where they manifest are as follows:

Name of the Rishi         Deity                Part of the eye

Gautama                      Rudra              Red line

VasiShTha                    Indra                Conjunctiva

Vishwamitra                 Sun                  Meobian glands (Kaneenika)

Jamadagni                    Agni(Fire)        Cornea

Bharadwaja                  Varuna             Tears

Kashyapa                     Earth(Dharani) Bottom lid

Atri                              Bharati             Top lid

The top lid protects the entire eye. Bharati Devi is presiding over the Top Lid. This shows that Bharati Devi is the protector of Shiva and other deities.

The word “Parjanyadi” in which the word “Aadi” is intrinsic, should be conceived as including Fire God and Bharati Devi.

“Patratapaka” – This word refers to one of the Yekadasha (eleven) Rudras. But, since only Rudra has been mentioned in the Bhashya, Manasasmruti and elsewhere, it should be conceived as Rudra, the consort of Parvati Devi.

It is mentioned in Aitareyopanishat and its commentary (Bhashya) that Vasishtha and other names are included among the various names of Sri Vishnu:
