The verse underscores the overwhelming power of the divine/cosmic principle: even natural forces like clouds and lightning are portrayed as arising from that higher radiance, inspiring humility and recognition of a governing order beyond human control.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a powerful presence, describing how from its radiance arise immense, multicolored storm-clouds with lightning, whose downpour appears capable of engulfing all beings—an image of cosmic-scale might.
