They know the blissful good of the mighty Ruddy One, and they resound in the governance of the Bright. The luminous powers of heaven, shining with a right radiance, increase their light—those in whom the Word (gīḥ) becomes worthy of invocation by greatness, and the inner offering (iḷā) is awakened.
