Chapter 11
Link:- in the next verse, Sanjaya describes the effulgence, of the Lord's cosmic form.
divi suryasahasrasya bhavedyugapadutthita yadi
bhah sadrsi sa syadbhasastasya mahamanah
If the effulgence of a thousand suns blazed forth all at once in the sky, that would hardly match the radiance of the mighty Lord. 12
Comment:-
Divi saryasahasrasya bhavedyugapadutthita yadi bhah sadrsi sa syadbhasastasya mahatmanah:- As the light of thousand stars, twinkling together in the sky, cannot be compared with the light of the moon, and as the light of a thousand moons, cannot be compared with the light of the sun, similarly, the splendour of a thousand suns shining all at once, in the sky, cannot be like that of the cosmic form, of the Lord. It means that the splendour of the Lord was incomparable. The reason is, that the effulgence of the sun is material, while the splendour of the Lord was divine. So, the splendour belonging to two different categories, cannot be compared, only an indication can be given. Therefore, by referring to the brilliance of a thousand suns, Sanjaya is, hinting at the effulgence of the cosmic form.
