In plain words
What shines out as the original — not the reflection — that alone is ānanda, the Self of everything. It is there before, it is there after, it never changes, and nothing that comes later can cancel it.
Close to the Sanskrit
That which shines forth being the original — that alone would be bliss, the Self of all; because of its existence before and also after, because of its freedom from modification, because of its never being negated.
