because of this (being covered by the arrows of Lord Śiva).
The arrows released by Lord Śiva appeared like fiery beams emanating from the sun globe and covered the three residential airplanes, which could then no longer be seen.

Translation
The arrows, the color of fire, emanating from Śiva like rays emanating from the sun, reached the abodes. Because of the arrows the abodes could no longer be seen.
Like rays from the sun, the arrows emanated from Śiva. Because of the arrows (yataḥ) the abodes could not be seen.
Personal Guidance
The arrows appear like fiery beams from the sun, covering the three airplane-residences and making them invisible. Concealment can be undone by greater concealment. The protector's wisdom matches the deceiver's craft.
Reflection Questions
- Where does a smaller illusion need to be eclipsed by a larger truth in your life?
- How does the right intervention sometimes look like a deeper mystery, not a clearer view?
