Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
As a round, lentil-sized part suited to coolness, arising where the karma that veils the eye-sense is subsided and destroyed; it perishes quickly and must be protected with great care.
Detailed answer
Verse 209 and its commentary describe drishti in Jain terms as arising where the karma that covers the faculty of sight is partly destroyed and partly subsided (kshayopashama). It is round like a lentil, favours coolness and is the part through which forms are seen. Because it is easily destroyed, it is to be guarded with great effort.
