Dṛk-pataṅgī is an abridged simile. The verb dṛś forms the noun form dṛk with the meaning of seer. There is a rule kartari kṛt: krt affixes are used with the meaning of agent (Pāṇini 3.4.67). The ending is dropped when it is the first word in a comparison. A metaphor of “eyes which are indeed bees” is not meant here, since in a tat-puruṣa compound, the second word of the compound would be emphasized. By emphasizing the bee with no sense of shyness, the relationship with seeing becomes lost. There would be the fault of lack of fitness of words and their relationship (abhava-mata-yoga). Thus the meaning is as follows. I, the seer, having given up shyness, controlling fear, and not considering my insignificance, move about like a bee, and desire to taste the lotus of Your feet. Instead of dṛk-pataṅgī mamāsau sometimes dṛk-tapasviny asau me is seen. The verb anviṣ is conjugated as anvicchati according to the rule iṣu gamiṣamāṁccha (Pāṇini 7.3.77 ).
