**One Hundred and Six**
**Verse 248**
In the dense darkness of the world, where beings are lost in the objects of sense, you are a lamp, O Lord! You are a lake for those who are tormented by the intense thirst for liberation. You are a fire to burn the forest of karmic aggregates, and you are the sun for those who are agitated by the fall of the great snow of various sorrows.
