न तत्र सूर्यो भाति न चन्द्रतारकं नेमा विद्युतो भान्ति कुतोऽयमग्निः ।
तमेव भान्तमनुभाति सर्वं तस्य भासा सर्वमिदं विभाति ॥
na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṃ nemā vidyuto bhānti kuto’yamagniḥ|
tameva bhāntamanubhāti sarvaṃ tasya bhāsā sarvamidaṃ vibhāti||
There, the sun does not shine, nor the moon nor the stars; nor do lightning flashes shine there—how then could fire? That shining, everything else shines. By Its light, all this is illumined.
