Translation

Here itself (in this body), in the intellect cave which is of the nature of sattva, in the unmanifest space, the highly luminous Atman shines gloriously like the Sun with its own brilliance, illumining the whole universe.

Annotation

1) ‘The intellect’ – it is called a cave because it envelopes the real nature of Brahman. 2) ‘The unmanifest’ – is the māyā which is the material cause pervading all. 3) ‘Highly luminous’ – because it is called as the light of all lights by the scriptures. Consciousness is the only knower and all others are objects which are knowable. The whole universe becomes knowable and hence called as illumined by the light of Atman (Jagadguru).
