The Discipline of the Supreme Person) — Chapter 15 (Bhagavadgītā
दिवि सूर्यसहस्रस्य भवेद् युगपदुत्थिता । यदि भा: सदृशी सा स्याद् भासस्तस्य महात्मन:,आकाशकमें हजार सूर्योके एक साथ उदय होनेसे उत्पन्न जो प्रकाश हो, वह भी उस विश्वरूप परमात्माके प्रकाशके सदृश कदाचित् ही होः
divi sūrya-sahasrasya bhaved yugapad utthitā | yadi bhāḥ sadṛśī sā syād bhāsas tasya mahātmanaḥ ||
സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ആകാശത്തിൽ ഒരേസമയം ആയിരം സൂര്യന്മാർ ഉദിച്ചാൽ ഉണ്ടാകുന്ന പ്രകാശം പോലും, ആ മഹാത്മാവിന്റെ വിശ്വരൂപപ്രഭയോട് അല്പമാത്രം മാത്രമേ സാമ്യമുള്ളൂ.
