Verse 11.12

Verse 11.12: “Could there have been in Heaven the simultaneously up-spreading radiance of a thousand Shuns, then might that radiance have resembled the radiance of that Mighty Being. (237)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

And where indeed, Oh King, is the thing which the radiant beauty of the Omnipresent Divine Person looked like? Before that radiance pales even the world—destroying light of the twelve Suns together, appearing in myriad of clusters in a single moment. Fancy all the lightnings in the universe gathered together and mixed with the stuff of the world-consuming fire, and add to it the tenfold heavenly light; such radiance may perhaps partly come nearer to the radiance of the Divine Omnipresence. So transcendent is the divine glory of Shrihari; by the grace of that great sage Vyasa, I beheld that all-surpassing brilliance emanating from the Lord’s entire person,”—(added San-jaya).
