Commentary (टीका)
Krishna reveals Himself as the source of all light in the universe. The radiance of the sun that sustains all life, the gentle glow of the moon, and the warmth of fire — all are manifestations of His divine energy. This teaching helps the seeker see God's presence in the most fundamental forces of nature, transforming ordinary perception into a constant awareness of the Divine.
