We meditate upon that adorable divine radiance of the Sun God Savitri. May he inspire and illumine our intellects.

suvarṇajyotiḥ paramaṃ prakāśam | yat brahma tad brahmavidaḥ vadanti ||

That supreme light, golden and luminous — that which the knowers of Brahman declare to be Brahman itself.

यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर् भस्मसात् कुरुतेऽर्जुन। ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात् कुरुते तथा॥

yathaidhāṃsi samiddho'gnir bhasmasāt kurute'rjuna | jñānāgniḥ sarvakarmāṇi bhasmasāt kurute tathā ||

As a blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, O Arjuna, so the fire of knowledge reduces all karmic reactions to ashes.

काञ्चन वरण विराज सुवेसा। काञन कुण्डल कुञ्चित केसा॥

kāñcana varaṇa virāja subesā | kāñcana kuṇḍala kuñcita kesā ||
