The verse highlights the subtlety of divine power (tejas): it can withdraw from perception, merge into a deity like Indra, and yet manifest again in another comparable form—implying that outward appearance is not a reliable measure of inner reality or spiritual agency.
After speaking, a certain presence disappears and enters into Śakra (Indra). Once that radiance has merged, another figure appears with a similar form, indicating a succession or replacement of manifestations connected with the same spiritual energy.
