His rays, spreading all around, side ways as well as above and below, warm up the whole body from head to foot. In the center of that (flame) abides the tongue of fire as the topmost of all subtle things. (note: due to the attachments and entanglements of the jiva in worldly enjoyment and suffering, the consciousness is enshrouded in potential as well as expressed objectivity, and hence it appears like a tiny streak of flame within the dark clouds of ignorance. But when the jiva rises above worldliness the consciousness is realized as he infinite.)
Neelaatoyaada madhyaasthad vidyullekhavaa bhaswaraa
Neevaaraasooka vattanvee peeta bhaswatyanoopama
Brilliant like a streak of lightning set in the midst of the blue rain-bearing clouds, slender like the awn of a paddy grain, yellow (like gold) in colour, in subtlety comparable to the minute atom, (this tongue of fire) grows splendid.
Tasyaa sikhayaa madhye paramaatmaa vyavasthithaah
Saa brahmaa saa sivaah saa hariih sendraah soksharaah paramah swarat
In the middle of that flame, the supreme self dwells. This (self) is Brahma (the creator), Siva (the destroyer), Hari (the protector), Indra (the ruler), the imperishable, the absolute, the autonomous being. Prostrations again and again to the omni-formed being, the truth, the law, the supreme absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue, the centralised-force, power, the all-seeing one.
Ritam satyam param brahmaa purusham krishnaa pingalam
Oordhwaaretam viroopaaksham viswaroopaayaa vai namo namah
Prostrations again and again to the omni-formed being, the truth, the law, the supreme absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue, the centralised-force, power, the all-seeing one.
Naaraayanayaa vidhmahe Vasudevaayaa dheemahi Tanno vishnuh prachodayaat
We commune ourselves with Narayana, and meditate on vasudeva, may that vishnu direct us (to the great goal).
