䲹ṣuṣm (चक्षुष्मत्) refers to “beings who have an eye�, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramiśāstra chapter XLVII.—Accordingly, “the Buddha converts beings and the divine tools that he uses are perfect. When the sun rises (ūⲹ), beings who have an eye (ṣuṣm) see it, whereas blind people (andha) do not see it. On the other hand, assuming that there is an eye but there is no sun, there is nothing to see. Thus the fault is not with the sun. It is the same with the Buddha-light�.

䲹ṣuṣm (चक्षुष्मत्) is the son of 䲹Իⲹś (incarnation of ʰⲹ岹ś) and վ󲹲Բ (incarnation of Sāgara or Sāgaracandra), according to chapter 1.2 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly,

“[...] When half a year only of [վ󲹲Բ’s] life remained, his wife 䲹Իⲹś bore twins. A boy and girl, with lives of numberless pūrvas, with good bodies, having the first kind of joints, dark, eight hundred bows tall, named 䲹ṣuṣm and Candrakān by the parents, born together, they grew up like a creeper and a tree. [...] By the law of the Hā-punishment alone, 䲹ṣuṣm preserved the boundaries of the twins, like վ󲹲Բ. The last period of the life of 䲹ṣuṣm and Candrakān having arrived, twins Yaśasvin and Surūpā were born. [...] In course of time 䲹ṣuṣm died and was born among the Suvarṇas, and Candrakān at once among the Nāgas�.
