शान्तेऽत्र संभ्रमे सौरो दिनेनेव करोत्करः ॥ १७ ॥

sva evāloka etena saṃprāpto'jñānasaṃkaṭe |
śānte'tra saṃbhrame sauro dineneva karotkaraḥ || 17 ||

He has now received that light of knowledge amidst the gloom of ignorance, as the waking man beholds the full blaze of the sun, after dispersion of the darkness of his sleep at dawn.
