Possible definitions for oarsman
darshan
In Hindu worship, the beholding of an auspicious deity, person, or object. The experience is often conceived to be reciprocal and results in a blessing of the viewer. In rathayatras (car festivals), images are carried through the streets to allow viewing by those who formerly would not have been allowed in the temple. Darshan may also be imparted by a guru to his disciples, a ruler to his subjects, or a pilgrimage shrine to its visitors. In Indian philosophy, darshan also refers to a philosophical system (e.g., Vedanta).

Sailing from Batavia (modern Jakarta), he reached 49\u00b0 S at 94\u00b0 E, then turned north and discovered land he named Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), then sailed along the coast of New Zealand, believing it to be the S continent. He also discovered Tonga and the Fiji Islands. On his next voyage (1644) he sailed into the Gulf of Carpentaria and along the N and W coasts of Australia.
