Thereafter, the two eyes of the gigantic form of the Lord were separately manifested. The sun, the director of light, entered them with the partial representation of eyesight, and thus the living entities can have vision of forms.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

When the gross eye balls of the universal form became differentiated, the presiding deity, the sun, entered along with his portion the subtle sense organ called the eye. From the eye, the sense object called form appeared. Tvasṭā is the sun.
