वरं ज्ञातीरतनं प्रहाय रतिं च स्फीतां अभिनिष्क्रमे ॥ ४८ ॥
evaṃ upetaṃ varalakṣaṇehi mahādyutigaṇam anuśāsate |
varaṃ jñātīratanaṃ prahāya ratiṃ ca sphītāṃ abhiniṣkrame || 48 ||
A nature endowed with excellent qualities, which rules the great host of light. Renouncing the fair treasure of kith and kin it goes forth to larger joy. (48)
