What Verse 5 is showing us
One devotional arc: The divine manifests by His own sovereign power (Svayambhuh), bringing auspicious blessings and inner joy to all (Shambhuh). Like the radiant sun (Adityah), He illumines darkness, gazing upon the world with tender lotus eyes (Pushkarakshah). He resonates through creation as the sacred voice of Vedic truth (Mahasvanah) without beginning or end (Anadinidhanah). As creator (Dhata), dispenser of the fruits of all karma (Vidhata), and supreme cosmic sustainer (Dhaturuttamah), He holds all life in unwavering care.
