त्वं मतः प्रतिवीर्यश्च ज्योतिषामपि चेश्वरः । त्वन्मयान्सर्वलोकेषु रसान्वेदविदो विदुः
tvaṃ mataḥ prativīryaśca jyotiṣāmapi ceśvaraḥ | tvanmayānsarvalokeṣu rasānvedavido viduḥ
أنت تُعَدّ القوّة المُعادِلة، بل أنت حقّاً ربّ الأنوار أيضاً. ويعلم عارفو الفيدا أنّ الجواهر والطعوم (رَسا) في جميع العوالم مشبعة بك ومن طبيعتك عينها.

It portrays the praised deity as the governing lord of the celestial lights and as the underlying power present throughout all worlds.
