dīpādibhiḥ śanaiḥ snigdhairdaśāśatavihāribhiḥ |
pratyakṣīkṛtasarvārthaṃ pratigehaṃ surājavat || 3 ||

This light like a good prince, takes upon it the likeness of lamps, and reigns in the hearts of families and houses in a thousand shapes (of chandeliers &c.), to drive off the thievish night, and restore the properties of all before their sight.
