Udghāṭita (उद्घाटित) refers to “opened (eyes)”, according to sources such as the Candrāvalokana and the Anubhavanivedanastotra.—Accordingly, while describing the highest reality through the practice of Śāmbhavī Mudrā: “[...] [The Yogin’s] eyes are half open (ardha-udghāṭita-locana), his mind steady and his gaze placed at the tip of the nose. Even his moon and sun have dissolved and his body is motionless. He goes to that supreme intensely radiant state, the highest reality, which has the appearance of light and is devoid of everything external. What could be spoken of here that is greater [than this]?”.

The sphere of the Buddha is just like what you said. However, friends, their thoughts are dependently originated, and I see living beings who walks with desire and who stops without desire, who wears a dharma-robe being full of impurities and who puts on the robe without impurities, and who eats porridge out of greed and who stops it without appetite. O friends, the types of behavior of living beings are so diverse. Since there are living beings who strive for [the Buddha’s] words by understanding a condensed statement (udghaṭita-jñā) or by understanding  a full, detailed explanations, the Tathāgata gives them the discourses of teaching the dharma, accordingly to each individual”.
