  • The Sanskrit word Dhumra (Devanagari: धूमढ़र) is an adjective to word Lochan meaning "smoky, obscured".
  • The Sanskrit word Lochan (Devanagari: लोचन) is a noun which means "sight, eye".

In simple English transliteration it is written either as Dhumarlochan or Dhumralochan. Dhumralochan becoms a qualitative and collective noun.

Concept of Lochan (Eye)

As per Gurmat,

ਗ੝ਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਅੰਜਨ੝ ਸਚ੝ ਨੇਤ੝ਰੀ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
The Gur has applied the true ointment of spiritual wisdom to my eyes.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਚਾਨਣ੝ ਅਗਿਆਨ੝ ਅੰਧੇਰ੝ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥
Deep within, the Divine Light has dawned, and the darkness of ignorance has been dispelled.

ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲੀ ਮਨ੝ ਮਾਨਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਿ ਸੋਭਾ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੩॥
My light has merged into the Light; my mind has surrendered, and I am blessed with Glory in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

In the above Hymn, It is not outer eye where ointment of spiritual wisdom resides still it the word ਨੇਤ੝ਰੀ (Netri) - Eye is used. In Spiritual world, Buddhi is the eye of Soul. Person analyzes through Buddhi and Wisdom i.e Gyaan is product which is to be given to such Buddhi of Soul. This is called Third Eye. With this eye only one could see and understand Satgur. From Outer eye one could watch only physical things.

Smoke - Illusion

ਸੰਤੋਖ੝ ਨ ਆਵਤ ਕਹੂੰ ਕਾਜ ॥
Contentment does not come by any endeavors.

ਧੂੰਮ ਬਾਦਰ ਸਭਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਸਾਜ ॥
All the show of Maya is just a cloud of smoke.

ਪਾਪ ਕਰੰਤੌ ਨਹ ਸੰਗਾਇ ॥
The mortal does not hesitate to commit sins.

ਬਿਖ੝ ਕਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

In Gurmat, The whole world is considered as Cloud of Smoke or Mountain of Smoke, Like smoke produces and vanishes. Whatsoever we see with our outer eyes is called Maya and It is considered as Poison. A Soul which is totally engross in Maya like attach to Material, Attach to Relations, then it is romping around Smoke. Such soul will take one more form as her wish is related to Maya, as he engross in Maya he will "think against Supreme Command"(sin), but could not do anything against it. The Thoughts of soul gives us indication whether he has smoke before his eyes. The reason of smoke is Illusion(Bharam), because he thinks about himself as a body but not as a soul. This smoke is smoke of Illusion which has grasp Buddhi in Temporal World, the reason such buddhi is called Durmati or Manmati. Such Buddhi is not nearer to contentment.

ਢੰਢੋਲਿਮ੝ ਢੂਢਿਮ੝ ਡਿਠ੝ ਮੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਗ੝ ਧੂਝ ਕਾ ਧਵਲਹਰ੝ ॥੩॥
After seeking and searching for such a long time, O Nanak, I have seen that the world is just a mansion of smoke. ||3||
