<a id="line-5"></a>Brahm Shyȧm haiṇ surya sam, jeev kiran anuhȧr.  
<a id="line-6"></a>Ḍaivi mȧyȧ guṅmayi, jȧnu roop anḍhiyȧr. [73]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-7"></a>Supreme God Krishn is like the sun and the souls are like the  
<a id="line-8"></a>rays of the sun. (Souls are a fraction of God just as rays are a  
<a id="line-9"></a>part of the sun.) Lifeless yet powerful maya, with its three  
<a id="line-10"></a>inherent qualities, is like darkness. (Just as darkness cannot  
<a id="line-11"></a>stay in front of sun, maya cannot stay in front of Krishn.)
