The Greatness of Puruṣottama
Goloka-tattva and Rādhā–Kṛṣṇa Upāsanā
ज्योतिरंतरतः प्रोक्तं यद्रूपं श्यामसुंदरम् । शिवेन दृष्टं तद्रूपं कदाचिद्ध्यानगोचरम् ॥ ११ ॥
jyotiraṃtarataḥ proktaṃ yadrūpaṃ śyāmasuṃdaram | śivena dṛṣṭaṃ tadrūpaṃ kadāciddhyānagocaram || 11 ||
Rupa yang gelap lagi indah, yang disebut sebagai Cahaya batin, itulah rupa yang pernah disaksikan oleh Śiva—kadang-kadang hanya dapat dicapai dalam lingkungan meditasi.

It identifies the Supreme as both the indwelling Light (jyotiḥ antarataḥ) and a personal, beautiful form (śyāma-sundara), indicating that realization culminates in inner illumination and devotional vision.
By describing the Lord as a lovable, personal form accessible through dhyāna, it supports bhakti as meditative remembrance that ripens into darśana (direct spiritual vision).
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is dhyāna-yoga—disciplined contemplation and inward focus to perceive the antar-jyoti (inner divine light).
