ಸೂರ್ಯಮಂಡಲದ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿತನಾದ ಆ ಅಂತರ್ಯಾಮಿ ಮಹಾತ್ಮ ಸೂರ್ಯದೇವನು ಪರಮ ತೇಜಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ದೀಪ್ತನಾಗಿ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಲೋಕಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಇದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯವೇನು?

The verse points to a dharmic-metaphysical vision: a supreme, luminous principle (the great Self) is present at the heart of the cosmic order (symbolized by the sun) and oversees all worlds. Recognizing this indwelling, all-seeing divinity cultivates reverence, moral restraint, and alignment with dharma.
A Nāga speaker highlights a cosmic marvel: within the sun’s disk dwells a radiant great being who observes all realms. The statement functions as a rhetorical climax—declaring that no greater wonder exists—within a discourse that emphasizes the grandeur and governance of the universe.
