Plain text of Mandala 5 · Hymn 19 God the Radiant

1 One state begets another state: husk is made visible from husk: within his mother's side he speaks.

2 Discerning, have they offered gifts: they guard the strength that never wastes. To a strong fort have they pressed in.

3 Svaitreya's people, all his men, have gloriously increased in might. A gold chain Brhaduktha wears, as, through this gift, seeking spoil.

4 I bring, as 'twere, the longed-for milk, the dear milk of the sister-pair. Like to a caldron filled with food is he, unconquered, conquering all.

5 Beam of light, come to us in sportive fashion, finding thyself close to the wind that fans thee. These flames of His are wasting flames, like arrows keen-pointed, sharpened, on His breast.
