9. The Sage, the Ancient, the Over-Ruler, minuter than the atom, the Sustainer of all, of form inconceiv­ able, glorious like the Sun, and beyond darkness- he who meditates on Him thus, (goes to Him).

The Sage, the Omniscient, the All-wise, the Ancient, the OverRuler, Who governs the entire universe, minuter than even, the atom which is itself minute, the Sustainer of all, Who dispenses the entire aggregate of the fruits of all actions, apportioning them to all creatures in wonderfully multifarious ways, of form inconceivable, Whose form, though definite and realisable, is incapable of being conceived by anybody with his mind, glorious like the Sun, Who, like the Sun, is resplendent with the Effulgence of His Eternal Intelligence ("nitya-caitanya-prakāśa"), and beyond the darkness of delusion ("mo ha") in the form of nescience (ajñāna)- he who meditates on Him thus,
