The Vision of Śiva7.11

7.11
तथापि योजितो युक्त्या प्रकाशमधिकं गृहे । दीपेनान्यतमेनापि न तथा वह्निराशिना ॥११॥
tathāpi yojito yuktyā prakāśamadhikaṃ gṛhe | dīpenānyatamenāpi na tathā vahnirāśinā
— nevertheless ; — applied ; — by (proper) method ; — greater light ; — in a house ; — by a (single) lamp ; — even one (well-placed) ; — not so ; — by a mass of fire

Nevertheless, when applied by (proper) method, a single well-placed lamp (gives) greater light in a house than (does even) a mass of fire (unskilfully heaped) — (so skilful application of the recognized truth yields greater fruit).
