Munchkin Legends "Gift from the Gods" card?

Hey guys. I'm relativity new, but pretty understanding, to Munchkin. There is a card in Munchkin Legends labeled "Gift from the Gods" stating "If you draw this card face up, draw three more face-up Treasures immediately and discard it. Otherwise, you may play at any time to draw three face-up Treasures."

An argument about the wording of the card occurred during gameplay this evening.

When would you draw treasures face up other than with the Rod of Dowsing or something similar?
Also,
Is this card allowing one to draw from the face-up discard pile? If so, why does it not say face-up DISCARD pile and is it the top three face-up cards or players choice?
Or
Is the owner of the card supposed to draw three treasure card from the deck, but show them as they are drawn?

This is also a question for the "Hoard" card in the original Munchkin, instructing player to draw three treasures face down if "Hoard" card is drawn face down, otherwise draw them face up.

Basically, does "face-up" refer to the discard pile or draw from the Treasure stack but show your loot?
