The Atman
स्फुरन्तम्sphurantam
which is shining
अखण्ड–नित्य–अद्वय–बोध–शक्त्याakhaṇḍa–nitya–advaya–bodha–śaktyā
as the infinite, eternal, non–dual consciousness
अनन्त वैभवम्ananta vaibhavam
that which is of infinite glory
समावृणोतिsamāvṛṇoti
envelopes
एषा आवृति–शक्तिःeṣā āvṛti–śaktiḥ
this power of concealing
तमो–मयीtamo–mayī
which is dark in nature
राहुः इवrāhuḥ iva
just as Rahu
अर्क बिम्बम्arka bimbam
envelopes the solar orb

Translation

Though the Atman is of the nature of the infinite, eternal, non–dual consciousness with its infinite glory, it is enveloped by this dark concealing power (of māyā) just as Rahu envelopes the solar orb.

Annotation

1) Ignorance has two powers – the power of concealing the real and projecting the unreal. Thus it becomes the cause for bondage. 2) Just as the Sun, covered by Rahu, does not shine, similarly the Atman does not know its real nature covered by the concealing power of māyā (Jagadguru).
