English Scholarly Translation
O Fosterer, O sole Seer, O Ordainer, O illumining Sun,
O power of the Father of creatures, marshal thy rays, draw together thy light;
the Lustre which is thy most blessed form of all, that in Thee I behold.
The Purusha there and there, He am I.
O power of the Father of creatures, marshal thy rays, draw together thy light;

व्याख्या / Traditional Commentary & Notes
Classical Exegesis
The prayer deepens into identity. The seeker recognises the supreme
Purusha within the solar Truth and declares unity with Him. This is not
egoistic assertion but the culmination of self-effacement in Truth.
