सुधाधारासारैश्चरणयुगलान्तर्विगलितैः प्रपञ्चं सिञ्चन्ती पुनरपि रसाम्नायमहसः । अवाप्य स्वां भूमिं भुजगनिभमध्युष्टवलयं स्वमात्मानं कृत्वा स्वपिषि कुलकुण्डे कुहरिणि ॥१०॥

Word breakdown
- सुधाधारासारैश्चरणयुगलान्तर्विगलितैः
- with the essence of nectar-streams flowing from between Your feet
- प्रपञ्चं सिञ्चन्ती पुनरपि रसाम्नायमहसः ।
- sprinkling the universe again with the glory of the Rasamnaya
- अवाप्य स्वां भूमिं भुजगनिभमध्युष्टवलयं
- having attained Your own ground, with serpent-coiled armlets
- स्वमात्मानं कृत्वा स्वपिषि कुलकुण्डे कुहरिणि ॥१०॥
- making Yourself the Self, You sleep in the hollow of the kula kund
Nectar descending and return to the coiled resting place portray manifestation and repose as one cycle. In Advaita, both outward creation and inward withdrawal are movements within awareness that never leaves its own nature.
