Meaning
“Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, O King, the great Lord of yoga, Hari, showed to Partha His supreme sovereign form: with many mouths and eyes, with many wondrous sights, with many divine ornaments, with many divine uplifted weapons; wearing divine garlands and garments, anointed with divine perfumes, all-wonderful, resplendent, boundless, facing every direction. If the splendour of a thousand suns were to blaze forth at once in the sky, that might resemble the splendour of that great Being.”
