When more ancient Indian documents are translated, this smokey idea will probably become clear. For example. in the Autobiography of Leonardo Pisano (Fibonacci) he makes a comment that "the art of Pythagoras" was a mistake in comparison to the "method of the Hindus". No one actually knows what Fibonacci ment by that, but scholars think he was alluding to ancient knowledge flowed from the Hindu toward that Greeks.

in reference to 14.1 Sutrashtaka, the geomancer's eight tools of measurement. Scale, rope, cord, plumb line, tri-square, compass, level, and the eye. Of the eight instruments, the eye of the geomancer is divine: "the eye is the sun for the person's great dimensioned world (matrah) depends on the eye, for with the eye that he moves about amongst dimensioned objects.* *Robert Hume, the thirteen principle upanishads, matri upanishad vi.6 p 427 reads: [begin Hume quote] worship of the world and the soul by the use of the original three world creating utterances 6. now in the beginning, verily, this world was unuttered, when he the soul, atman, who is the Real satya, who is prajapati lord of creation, had preformed austerity, he uttered bhur earth, bhuvas atmosphere, and svar sky. this indeed is prajapati's coarsest form, this world form its head is the sky.. the atmosphere is the navel, the feet are the earth. the eye is the sun, for a person's great material world matra depends upon the eye, for with the eye he surveys material things. verily, the eye is the Real; for stationed in the eye a person moves about among all objects. therefore one should reverence bhur earth, bhuvas atmosphere, and svar sky; for thereby prajapati, the Soul of all, the eye of all, becomes reverenced, as it were. for thus has it been said: verily, this is the all supporting form of prajapati. this whole world is hidden in it, and it is hidden in the whole world. therefor this is what one should worship. [end Hume quote] My comment, question is... what do the last few sentences mean in reference to matrah. I'll quote them again: "this whole world is hidden in it, and it is hidden in the whole world. Therefor this is what one should worship."
