निशान्ते संप्रबुद्धात्मा संध्यां कृत्वा यथाविधि ।
प्रजाः स्रष्टुं दृशौ स्फारे व्योम्नि योजितवानहम् ॥ ७ ॥

niśānte saṃprabuddhātmā saṃdhyāṃ kṛtvā yathāvidhi |
prajāḥ sraṣṭuṃ dṛśau sphāre vyomni yojitavānaham || 7 ||

At the end of the chaotic night I awoke as from a deep sleep; and performed my matins as it is the general law (of all living beings). I oped my eyes with a view to create, and fixed my look on the vacuum all about me. (When that spirit sleeps it is night, and when it awakes, it is a day of recreation.
