O Nāga disse: “No próprio centro do orbe do sol habita o Grande Ser, ardendo com suprema radiância, e contempla todos os mundos. Que maravilha poderia ser maior do que esta?”

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.
