Translation
A waking person's mind, which endowed with divine virtues, moves far and high, that of a person asleep moves in the same way; racing far and wide, and the sole enlightener of all lights, may that mind of mine be always guided by the best of intentions. (1)
Note
Dūram udaiti, goes far and high above. Jyotişām jyotih, enlightener of all the lights. Light here means perceptions of the sense-organs. All the sensations received by sense-organs are felt through the mind only. Tan me manaḥ śiva sankalpamastu, may that mind of mine be always guided by best intentions; may always be full of benign thoughts.
