आलोककृल्लोकनाथो लोकपालनमस्कृतः । विदिताशयश्च सुनयो महात्मा भक्तवत्सलः
ālokakṛllokanātho lokapālanamaskṛtaḥ | viditāśayaśca sunayo mahātmā bhaktavatsalaḥ
وہ نور کا خالق، جہانوں کا رب ہے؛ عالموں کے نگہبان بھی اسے سجدۂ تعظیم کرتے ہیں۔ وہ دلوں کے بھید جاننے والا، نیک راہ کا رہنما، عظیم الروح اور بندوں سے محبت کرنے والا ہے۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A radiant deity as ‘maker of illumination’ seated or standing in a halo of light; lokapālas (Indra, Yama, Varuṇa, Kubera) shown in reverent añjali; devotees at the feet; subtle indication of the deity reading hearts (a lotus/heart-lotus motif).
True light is both cosmic and ethical: the Sun illuminates the world and also guides the devotee toward right conduct.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse praises Sūrya’s universal lordship and devotional accessibility.
None stated; it aligns with devotional recitation and contemplation of the Sun as the knower of hearts.
