- Somewhere made twilight by hosts of bright ruby rays,
- कुत्रापि स्फुटविस्फुरन्मरकतद्युत्या तमिस्रायितम् ।
- elsewhere darkened by the clear flash of emerald light,
- मध्यालम्बिविशालमौक्तिकरुचा ज्योत्स्नायितं कुत्रचि-
- somewhere moonlit with the lustre of a great pearl hung in the midst,
- न्मातः श्रीमणिमन्दिरं तव सदा वन्दामहे सुन्दरम् ॥८॥
- O Mother, we ever bow to your beautiful gem palace.
The temple that shifts through ruby dusk, emerald night, and pearl moonlight is consciousness itself, never fixed in one mode. Bowing to its changing beauty, the devotee worships the formless through form.
