Amarusataka translation question

[Guest guest]

Hi guys.

 

I'm wondering about the word vilokitavatii in Amarusataka 114 in

Arjunavarmadeva's edition, the muktaka beginning naantaHpravezam. Could it,

with saralapakSmabhirakSipaataiH, mean 'she looked _through_ him', or does vi

here imply that she looked through everything else, and so looked straight at

him? 'Looked through' would be wonderful, but I wonder if this metaphor for

ignoring someone could have existed in Sanskrit or if I am being deceived by

the english idiom, which is perhaps not as natural an idea as it seems to a

native speaker of English. Arjunavarmadeva's commentary just glosses the word

as drSTavatii, but could the other idea have existed?
