and non-distinction, respectively, of qualities from substance), you are in reality the embodiment of intuition and knowledge, and are a source of bliss to those who reflect upon you. (21) [271]
अनाकुल: स्वयं ज्योतिरन्तर्बहिरखण्डितः । स्वयंवेदनसंवेद्यो भासि त्वं भाब एव नः ॥२२॥
anākulaḥ svayam jyotir antarbahir akhanditaḥ / svayamvedana samvedyo bhāsi tvam bhāva eva naḥ || 22 ||
Free from afflictions both within and without, you are yourself a light undivided (by distinctions of substance and qualities, and this light is) experienced by your own self. You appear to us as nothing but this (pure) state of consciousness). (22) [272]

anantaśaktibhiḥ sphārasphutam bhāsi parisphutam // 24 /! You are, (as it were), forcibly struck, held fast (in your omniscience), kept (there) through the intense, undistracted application of consciousness (to all objects). You shine forth, possessing infinite powers, clearly and completely manifest. (24) [274]

ayam dipānalagrastavarttinityā na samsayaḥ || 25 || cha || XI || My entire self has been pervaded by meditation on your qualities, (hence) there is no doubt that I will partake of your own-nature, just as the lamp-wick which is pervaded by fire (itself partakes of the nature of fire.). (25) [275] XI
