Hello Amin,
you say: He has a third eye that symbolizes the wisdom of understanding anicca.

I think the so-called third eye: It is the name for the Maha Brahma realm, the rūpāvacară worlds. Because Maha Brahma, who has a subtle body with only mind, hearing and sight, is located higher up and therefore the eye is larger and sits higher up in the drawing. The eye symbolizes the diluted Rupa Loka. Even yogis before the Buddha were able to connect with the Maha Brahma and received radiant wisdom from him.
(But the Buddha outshines them all.)

In beings from the Rupa Loka, their sense of sight and hearing is highly developed. They have the supersensitive telepathic abilities that are called Dibbacakkhu, Dibbasota.’ This realm is usually depicted as the kingdom of heaven or the heavenly eye and car.

A wrong interpretation would be to describe it as “akasa chronicle”, or wisdom in relation to Panna over the “anicca” Nature.
