SUMMARY: The Almighty by name Kapila, along with Indra and other guardians of the directions, is residing in the light of the eyes. Sri Hari called Vishwa resides in the front portion of the right eye. He has white complexion and four shoulders. Wearing human and elephant faces, this Vishwarupi Hari provides the living beings the state of being awake with utmost compassion, consumes or conceives hard subjects and feeds them to the beings.

Mandooka Bhashya elaborates:

स्थूलान् भॊगानिन्द्रियैः स शुभान् भुन्क्तॆ न चाशुभान्॥(महायॊग)-मान्डूकभाष्य॥

The word “NrugajAsya” means the Vishwarupa of Sri Hari having human and elephant faces. According to Holy Scriptures, in this form, Sri Hari has 16 faces and the special feature is that only one of those 16 faces is like that of an elephant.

SUMMARY: In the ears on either side of the face, the deities dedicated to directions are residing. Ganga and other deities dedicated to Holy Waters reside in the right ears. Trivikrama, the Originator of Ganga, purifies those who follow this line of thinking and reasoning.

Digdevatas or deities dedicated to directions refer to Indra and other deities, who are in-charge of the eight directions called AShTadikpAlakas. In the right ear, Ganga and all other deities dedicated to various Holy Waters, reside and in them Lord Trivikrama stays and purifies those who think of him and the deities residing in the right ear. This is the reason for Brahmins to keep the Yajnopaveeta (Thread) on the right ear while answering the nature’s call and so on and to keep its sanctity intact.

Parasharasmriti explains:
