Darśanasāmarthya (दर्शनसामर्थ्य) refers to the “requisite of vision”, which Guṇanidhi obtained as a boon after performing severe penance, as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.19.—“[...] this itself is a great boon, O lord, that I see you present. O lord, O moon-crested God, obeisance be to you. Of what avail are other boons? On hearing his words, the lord of Devas, Umā’s consort touched him with his palm and gave him the requisite of Vision (darśanasāmarthya). Then on securing the power, Yajñadatta’s son [viz., Guṇanidhi] opened his eyes and saw Umā alone at first”.
