In "The Brothers Karamazov" there is sentence:

One day, when Kolya’s back was turned, Kartashov hastily opened Smaragdov, which lay among Kolya’s books, and immediately lighted on the passage relating to the foundation of Troy.

What is meaning of the "lighted on"?
I agree with Lingo. It comes about or happens by chance. It also means to land on like an airplane.

His eyes happened upon the passage.
His eyes landed on the passage.
