Āmnāta (आम्नात) refers to “(that which) concerns”, according to Kṣemarāja’s Svacchandoddyota on verse 2.89c.—Accordingly, “Wide-eyed means, his [point of] focus is inwards, his gaze outwards and he does not open or close his eyes. It concerns (āmnāta) the wide [eyes] of the supreme Śiva who has been described thus by our tradition”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
