आलोक आगते यादृक्तमस्तद्दृश्यते तथा ।
याऽवस्तुत्वे त्वविद्यायास्त्ववस्तुत्वं प्रतीयते ॥ ३७ ॥

āloka āgate yādṛktamastaddṛśyate tathā |
yā'vastutve tvavidyāyāstvavastutvaṃ pratīyate || 37 ||

As the great mass of thick darkness, disappears into nothing at the advance of light; it is in the same manner that the substantiality of gross ignorance, is dissolved into unsubstantiality at the advancement of knowledge.
