Sanjaya struggles to find an earthly metaphor to describe the blinding illumination of the Universal Form. He proposes a staggering hypothetical: If, in the sky (divi), the blazing light and radiance of hundreds of thousands of suns (sūrya-sahasrasya bhāḥ) were to burst forth and rise simultaneously at the exact same moment (bhaved yugapad utthitā)—only then (yadi), perhaps, that combined, unimaginable brilliance might slightly resemble or be somewhat equal to (sadṛśī sā syād) the blazing effulgence and glory (bhāsas) of that Great Supreme Soul (tasya mahātmanaḥ).
