प्रातर्नमामि तमसः परमर्कवर्णंपूर्णं सनातनपदं पुरुषोत्तमाख्यम् ।यस्मिन्निदं जगदशेषमशेषमूर्तौरज्ज्वां भुजङ्गम इव प्रतिभासितं वै ॥ 3 ॥
In plain words
At dawn I bow to what stands past all darkness, the colour of the sun, complete, the eternal ground, called the Highest Person — in which, since nothing falls outside that form, this whole world has appeared, the way a snake appears in a rope.
Close to the Sanskrit
At dawn I bow to that which is beyond darkness, of the sun's colour, full, the eternal state, named the Highest Person — in which, whose form is without remainder, this entire world has appeared, as a snake appears in a rope.
