Telugu-Vigananam keeps its printed spellings, hyphens, and variant readings; the English follows the base Sanskrit unless a note explains a difference.

04 / DETAILED MEANINGShownHidden
How the verse unfolds.
Powers such as aṇimā are described as radiances arising from her own body. The contemplative orientation that follows is expressed through an identification of you and I, placing the relationship beyond an exchange for a particular power.
The fire of dissolution then becomes a lamp waved in worship. What ordinarily marks an ending is reimagined as an offering. The verse presents an altered devotional understanding of the cosmic scene, not physical immunity from fire or destruction.

05 / DEEPER CONTEMPLATIONShownHidden
A question to carry.
What changes when you read the final fire as an offering rather than only as an ending?
