दिवि सूर्यसहस्रस्य भवेद्युगपदुत्थिता | यदि भाः सदृशी सा स्याद्भासस्तस्य महात्मनः ||१२||
divi sūrya-sahasrasya bhaved yugapad utthitā yadi bhāḥ sadṛśhī sā syād bhāsas tasya mahātmanaḥ
若千日之光輝同時在天空中燃燒,那或許能與那位至高存有之光芒相似。
If the splendor of a thousand suns were to blaze forth all at once in the sky, that might resemble the effulgence of that Supreme Being.
此詩節啟發了羅伯特·奧本海默在首次核試驗時的感悟。散惹耶以最極致的視覺隱喻來描述克里希那的宇宙形相——千日同時升起。然而,《博伽梵歌》指出,即使如此,也僅能「相似」(sadṛśhī) 於神聖的光輝,而無法與之匹敵。
This verse inspired Robert Oppenheimer during the first nuclear test. Sanjaya describes Krishna's cosmic form with the most extreme visual metaphor possible — a thousand suns rising simultaneously. Even this, the Gita says, would only "resemble" (sadṛśhī) the divine radiance, not match it.
