अचन्द्रतारार्कमनन्धकारं स्वयंप्रकाशाखिलभूतजातम् ।
स्मरामि किंचिज्जगदेककान्तं ज्वालोदराभं दिनरात्रिमुक्तम् ॥ ५५ ॥

acandratārārkamanandhakāraṃ svayaṃprakāśākhilabhūtajātam |
smarāmi kiṃcijjagadekakāntaṃ jvālodarābhaṃ dinarātrimuktam || 55 ||

I also beheld a spot which was full of light, and shone forth brightly without the lights of the sun, moon and stars. I remember well that effulgent glory, before which there was [neither] darkness nor day and night, and nothing else in existence.
