Word breakdown
- तेजःस्तोमैरङ्गदसंघट्टितभास्व-
- he whose splendour, clashing with armlets, outshines
- न्माणिक्योत्थैर्भासितविश्वो रुचिरैर्यः ।
- the universe illumined by rubies sprung from that clash
- तेजोमूर्तिं खानिलतेजःप्रमुखाब्धिं
- the embodiment of light, ocean of earth, wind, fire, and the rest
- तं प्रत्यञ्चं दक्षिणवक्त्रं कलयामि
- him, the inner one, the south-facing, I meditate upon
His splendour outshines rubies and the elemental lights because he is tejas itself. The Lord as light of earth, sky, and fire is the consciousness in which all luminaries appear.
