In plain words

‘Even with such self-regard, I come to rest in You alone’: so he says: Even after thinking of millions of things to be done, through the restlessness of the mind, O Bhava, resting in the ānanda of Your being cit, I delight greatly. Through the natural restlessness of the mind, “This today I have gained; this wish I shall attain; I shall sacrifice, I shall give, I shall rejoice …” ‘having thought of’, that is, even having imagined, the unceasing series of things to be done, such as these, “For this very reason, since things are made to appear by outlining them as one wishes, knowledge and action are plainly established for everyone who lives.” So, by the direction of the parāmarśa of the reality of things settled in the Pratyabhijñā, O ‘Bhava’, ‘in the ānanda of Your being cit’, that is, Your consciousness itself is the full ānanda, ‘resting’ in that, ‘I delight greatly’, abiding as one who experiences the universe, even to its outermost reach, as flooded with the savour of Your ānanda. As it is said in the Pratyabhijñā: “For one who knows fully, ‘all this splendour is mine’, who is the Self of the universe, there is the state of the Great Lord even when vikalpas spread.” So it is said. In the first verse the upāya of entering the supreme reality was stated by way of quieting the mind, whose nature is vikalpa; this upāya goes beyond that, for it makes even emergence flooded with the savour of samādhi: this is the intent of the words ‘I delight greatly’. Only by the order of that upāya does this upāya take root; so here too it is stated by the author of the hymn in that same order. ‘Cittā’ is the state of cit; ‘cintā’ is a wrong reading.
