भित्तौ प्रकाशो भातीव तत्कुड्यं भासनं च तत् ।
दृश्यस्यासंभवादादौ वक्ता द्रष्टा प्रदृश्यताम् ॥ ६ ॥

bhittau prakāśo bhātīva tatkuḍyaṃ bhāsanaṃ ca tat |
dṛśyasyāsaṃbhavādādau vaktā draṣṭā pradṛśyatām || 6 ||

As the light of the lamp or chandelier, enlightens the house with its lustre; it was thus the holy light of the Divine spirit that shone itself, without presenting its outward appearance, or having any one to look upon it.
