Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Dṛṣṭiprasāda (दृष्टिप्रसाद) refers to “(having acquired) the grace after seeing (the Goddess)”, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “[...] O mother! Even the kings of gods bow to the feet of those men who have acquired a drop of the grace of seeing you (dṛṣṭiprasāda-lava-lābhavat). Kings of all the rich lands extending to the four oceans [bow to them] all the more, illuminating their footrests with the studded jewels of their elevated crowns”.
