सत्य–अनृत, प्रकाश–तमस्, स्वर्ग–नरक विवेचनम्
Truth and Untruth as Light and Darkness; Svarga and Naraka as Ethical Consequences
उपरिष्टोपरिष्ट त्तु प्रज्वलद्धिः स्वयंप्रभै: । निरुद्धमेतदाकाशमप्रमेयं सुरैरपि,ऊपर-ऊपर प्रकाशित होनेवाले स्वयंप्रकाश देवताओंसे यह अप्रमेय आकाश भी भरा हुआ-सा प्रतीत होता है
upariṣṭopariṣṭa tu prajvaladbhiḥ svayaṃprabhaiḥ | niruddham etad ākāśam aprameyaṃ surair api ||
Dijo Bharadvāja: Más arriba y más arriba, este cielo inconmensurable parece como si estuviera cercado y colmado por seres fulgurantes, auto-luminosos. Ni siquiera los dioses pueden medirlo o comprenderlo por completo.

Educational Q&A
The verse stresses the vastness and incomprehensibility of cosmic reality: even divine beings cannot fully measure the sky/space. Ethically, it encourages humility—recognizing limits of perception and knowledge when speaking about the cosmos and the divine order.
Bharadvāja is describing the upper regions of the cosmos: the sky seems crowded or enclosed by self-luminous, blazing celestial presences, conveying a vision of layered heavens and an immeasurable expanse beyond ordinary grasp.
