The verse uses sacrificial imagery to convey that inner power or sanctified presence can become visibly transformative—radiance arising from disciplined, dharmic action (like offerings into fire) culminates in an awe-inspiring, almost indescribable brilliance.
A Nāga describes a figure (or presence) appearing with extraordinary luminosity: as if a fire flares up when fed with oblations, the being’s rays spread everywhere, shining like a second sun and surpassing ordinary description.
