In plain words

Somewhere made twilight-like by the mass of rays from blazing rubies; somewhere else made night-dark by the clear, flashing splendour of emeralds; somewhere made moonlit by the lustre of the wide pearl hanging at the centre — O Mother, your beautiful jewelled mansion we always worship.
