23. On the occasion of viparīta - rata ('contrary intercourse' - where the woman
takes the man's position, above while the man lies below) when Laksmī saw Brahmă seated on the navel - lotus (of her husband Visnu) she was overcome with shame and instantly closed the right eye of Vişnu.
(Note : Mammața observes : the term Hari (=Vişnu) suggests the fact of his right eye being the sun — the Purānas describe the sun and the moon as the right and left eyes of Vişnu – hence the closing of that eye suggests sunset, which further suggests the closing of the petals of the lotus and the consequent veiling of Brahmă seated upon it, which lastly suggests the fact that her private parts being rendered invisible to him, her sport of love / love - game would continue unhindered / uninhibited ).
