Giảng giải

Sanjaya reaches for a comparison and finds none adequate. If a thousand suns rose in the sky at once, their combined light might perhaps match the brilliance of the form. The conditional wording, if and might, shows that even this image falls short. This is among the most remembered verses of the Gita, quoted far beyond religious settings as an image of unimaginable radiance. In context, its role is to convey that the vision exceeds every ordinary measure. Light, which makes things visible, here becomes so intense that it almost blinds.
