3.25

प्रवृत्त्यालोकन्यासात् सूक्ष्माव्यावहितविप्रकृष्टज्ञानम् ॥२५॥
pravṛtty-āloka-nyāsāt sūkṣmā-vyāvahita-viprakṛṣṭa-jñānam ||25||

[RS] 3.25 Meditating on the source of the inner light gives rise to knowledge (jnana) of subtle, concealed and remote entities.

[JW] 3.25. As a result of casting the light of a sense-activity [there arises the intuitive] knowledge of the subtile and the concealed and the obscure.

[SS] 3.26 By samyama on the Light within, the knowledge of the subtle, hidden and remote is obtained. [Note: subtle as atoms, hidden as treasure, remote as far distant lands]. [p188]

[EB] 3.25 By directing the light of congnition, one obtains knowledge of subtle, concealed, and remote things. [p351]
