। ॥ ३ ॥

In plain words

When Avidyā—ignorance—darkens the heart, you rise there like a city on an island of sun. To the dull, you are nectar streaming from blossoms of consciousness; to the poor, a garland of Cintāmaṇi wish-fulfilling gems; to those sinking in the ocean of birth, the rescuing tusk of Viṣṇu's Boar form, enemy of Mura.

Close to the Sanskrit

For those caught in Avidyā, you are a radiant sun-island city within their inner darkness; for the dull, a flowing stream of nectar from a cluster of consciousness-blossoms; for the destitute, a strand of Cintāmaṇi wish-fulfilling gems; and for those submerged in the ocean of birth, the tusk of the Boar who is Mura's enemy.
