Meaning
The commentary introduces the arising of fire (tejas) after wind. Then, by the feeling "let me be of the form of light", light arises in it, in awareness itself; and from awareness that has reached the state of light, as experience, the form-element arises, which will light up the names and forms of all things to come. Another commentary: by feeling light in that same awareness, light arises. Light comes "from experience", anubhava: it is awareness knowing itself as shining.
