Max Müller

English Translation

There the sun shines not, nor the moon and stars, these lightnings shine not, still less this fire. When he shines, everything shines after him; by his light all this is lighted.

Simple English

English Translation

The sun does not shine there, nor the moon and stars, nor do these lightnings shine — much less this fire. When that shines, all things shine after it. By its light all this world is illumined.
