*yadāsīdajñānaṁ smaratimirasaṁcārajanitaṁ*
*tadā sarvaṁ nārīmayamidamaśeṣaṁ jagadabhūt* ।
*idānīmasmākaṁ paṭutaravivekāñjanadṛśāṁ*
*samībhūtā dṛṣṭistribhuvanamapi brahma manute* ॥
“When in the darkness of love,
Ignorant, I wandered about, I saw nothing,

Forthwith appeared all calmly over my eye,
And I saw in the world only one: Brahma³ !”
