Nirguṇamānasapūjā

Verse 6

विश्वानन्दयितुस्तस्य किं ताम्बूलं प्रकल्पते ।स्वयम्प्रकाशचिद्रूपो योऽसावर्कादिभासकः ॥ ६ ॥

In plain words

What betel could I hand to the one who gladdens the whole universe? He is self-luminous, consciousness itself — the one who lights up the sun and every other light.

Close to the Sanskrit

For him, the gladdener of the universe, what betel could serve? — he who is of the nature of self-luminous consciousness, that one who is the illuminator of the sun and the rest.
