सति तमसि मोहरूपे विश्वमपश्यं तदेतदित्यखिलम् ।उदितवति बोधभानौ किमपि न पश्यामि किं न्विदं चित्रम् ॥
In plain words
While that darkness lasted — darkness that was nothing but delusion — I saw a world: this thing, that thing, all of it, every last piece. Now the sun of knowledge has risen, and I see nothing at all. What a wonder this is.
Close to the Sanskrit
When darkness, whose form is delusion, was present, I saw the world entirely as 'this and that'; now that the sun of knowledge has risen, I do not see anything at all — what a wonder this is!
