रूपेणोत्तिष्ठ चोत्तिष्ठ अविद्यानिचयं दह । दहज्ञानैश्वर्यमन्ते प्रकाशययुगं ततः ॥ १७३ ॥
rūpeṇottiṣṭha cottiṣṭha avidyānicayaṃ daha | dahajñānaiśvaryamante prakāśayayugaṃ tataḥ || 173 ||
真の姿において起ち上がれ—起て、起て!積み重なった無明の塊を焼き尽くせ。ついで智慧の火によって自在の威光を燃え立たせ、さらにその光でこの時代(世界)を照らし出せ。

It commands an awakening into one’s real nature and the deliberate destruction of avidyā (ignorance), culminating in jñāna-born sovereignty—inner clarity that naturally radiates outward as guidance and benefit to the world.
While stated in jñāna-language, it supports bhakti by insisting on removing ignorance that veils the Divine; when avidyā is burned, devotion becomes steady and luminous, expressing itself as service and spiritual upliftment of others.
It points to the Vedanga spirit of disciplined study and application—using śāstra-grounded knowledge (especially vyākaraṇa/śikṣā-style clarity and correct understanding) to remove confusion and establish mastery that can instruct and illuminate others.
