BG 11.12

If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once into the sky, their radiance might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form.

11.12. If the splendour of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, would that be eal to the splendour of that Mighty Self ?

11.12 Could a thousand suns blaze forth together it would be but a faint reflection of the radiance of the Lord God.

11.12 Sri Abhinavagupta did not comment upon this sloka.

11.12 This is for illustrating that His splendour is infinite. The meaning is that it is of the nature of inexhaustible radiance.

11.12 Should the bhah, effulgence; surya-sahasrasya, of a thousand suns; utthita bhavet, blaze forth; yugapat, simultaneously; divi, in the sky, or in heaven which is the third as counted (from this earth);sa, that; yadi syat, might be-or it might not be-; sadrsi, similar; to the bhasah, radiance; tasya, of that; mahat-manah, exalted One, the Cosmic Person Himself. The idea is that the brillinace of the Cosmic Person surely excels even this! Further,

11.12 If a thousand suns were to rise at once in the sky, the resulting splendour may be like the splendour of that mighty One.

11.12 Should the effulgence of a thousand suns blaze forth simultaneously in the sky, that might be similar to the radiance of that exalted One.
