Do the 2 holes called Shiva eyes have any special meaning or significance?

Sid, this is the first time I have heard that name for these piercings at the blade base, but I like it, it is most appropriate.

If we take the entire wilah as Meru : Siwa and the sogokan as Lingga : Siwa, then those piercings as the eyes of Siwa seem to fit right in.
