Synonyms
deva — of the demigods; tiryak — the lower animals; manuṣyāṇām — and the human beings; sarīsṛpa — the insects and the serpents; sa-vīrudhām — and the plants and trees; sarva-jīva-nikāyānām — of all groups of living entities; sūryaḥ — the sun-god; ātmā — the life and soul; dṛk — of the eyes; īśvaraḥ — the Personality of Godhead.

Translation

All living entities, including demigods, human beings, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, creepers and trees, depend upon the heat and light given by the sun-god from the sun planet. Furthermore, it is because of the sun’s presence that all living entities can see, and therefore he is called dṛg-īśvara, the Personality of Godhead presiding over sight.
